the user story that i desire is a label that someone with the commit bit
can move around freely, and then it gets automatically synchronized to
everyone else who pulls/fetches the repo (i.e. *without* reading multiple
blog posts and issuing multiple git commands).

a release branch, especially with force-pushed commits, is rather far from
that in terms of the user experience. but then maybe i should learn to love
merge commits...

now, how exactly git behaves is another story. it never seizes to surprise
me.

(i'm fine with calling the "stable" label as "release", or whatever else.
the actual name wasn't my point.)
