I'm not entirely sure if this reflects the call we had yesterday (it
could be not understanding it).  What I thought we had agreed on was:

1) A new trunk-shadow branch is created out of trunk, to enable you
guys to iterate faster than we can in trunk itself due to the
review/merge boilerplate.

2) Andres branches from trunk-shadow and into feature-branch-1, and
starts working to fix a _specific_ aspect on that branch, so that the
size of this branch is contained.

3) Andres is happy with the change, and delivers the branch to William
for further tweaking/testing to conform to the project practices.

4) Andres starts a new feature-branch-2 out of either feature-branch-1
(in case the new feature is dependent on the previous work) or
trunk-shadow (in case it's not) and starts working on it.

5) William grabs feature-branch-1 and changes it as necessary to
conform to the project, and then pushes it for review and _also_
merges the branch into trunk-shadow immediately, so that Andres can
start working with the changes immediately.

6) Andres merges trunk-shadow into feature-branch-2, so that it
reflects the latest changes.

7) Go back to (3).


How does it sound?
