+          <p>
+            We've chosen a set of guidelines to work by so that
+            everybody is clear about how the Git repositories will be
+            used. This should make life easier for developers and
+            users. The aim is to keep things clear and simple without
+            adding unnecessary overheads. We don't have need for
+            anything as complex as git-flow.
+          </p>
+          <ol>
+            <li>
+              The <code>master</code> branch will always be buildable
+              and should be usable. Development work does not happen
+              here directly.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              New releases will be taken from the <code>master</code>
+              branch and will be tagged there.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              The master branch will never have its history rewritten.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              Development work will be done on branches. These
+              branches may only live for the period of the development
+              work. Once the work is complete and tested it will be
+              merged to master and the branch may be deleted.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              The history on development branches may be rewritten to
+              tidy things up before merging. This probably won't
+              happen often, but don't get upset if it does.
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              If you want to submit changes it's best to do them
+              against the <code>master</code> branch unless you're
+              specifically working with a developer on an issue
+              already.
