Another thing I've been thinking about is what to call our stable branch
names, starting with 3.12.  The usual gnome-3-x branch name is going to
be confusing, especially later this year when our version number starts
to diverge from GNOME's version number.

I suggest just naming the branches after the module name, similar to how
GLib and GTK+ do it.  e.g.

   evolution-3-12
   evolution-data-server-3-12
   evolution-ews-3-12
   evolution-mapi-3-12

That sound okay?  I don't have a strong preference for the name, other
than not using 'gnome' anymore.
