+Long-lived feature branches
+===========================
+
+The conventions for formatting commit log messages set out in CONTRIBUTE
+don't apply to commits made to feature branches.
+Thus, feel free to commit little and often, with short and simple commit
+messages.  This practice can ease development by making 'git bisect' and
+'git revert' more effective.
+
+The commit merging the feature branch to master, on the other hand,
+should follow the usual commit log message conventions.
