This is the workflow I use. I store the bugs I'm working on under
branches name-spaced like: bug/XXX_add_feature_y
These branches are based off cvs head, and dependent bugs can be
branched off other bug branches.  Git makes it very easy to keep the
branches live as changes get committed back upstream.
