In order to refer to a branch in one of the [[git]] repositories, for
example when submitting a [[patch]], you can use the
[[templates/gitbranch]] template. For example:
\[[!template id=gitbranch branch=yourrepo/amazingbranch author="\[[yourname]]"]]

Branches referred to in open [[bugs]] and [[todo]]:
[[!inline pages="(todo/* or bugs/) and link(/branches) and !link(bugs/done)
