The main point is that nobody has to commit to stable, only benoit merge things
from master to stable  when a new feature is ready.

Doing some stable to master merge get things confusing.

A small remember:

* master : Where Benoit work and nobody else.
* stable : Benoit merge things from master to stable when a feature is ready
* name-feature: Everbody can do a branch with a new feature, and then ask Benoit
                to do the merge.
* debian : where the debian packaging is
* pristine-tar : for debian too

@ Fred. For debian, we thus need a upstream branch where we could put upstream
tags from the stable branch and then use it for packaging.

So, branch debian, upstream and pristine-tar are debian related branch.
