Branching scheme

[t-w]

New rules regarding branching scheme:

The project will adapt the following model: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

For now, this concerns branches: master and devel, the rest of existing branches are "feature" branches.

Briefly the rules are:

• master gets updated only from devel, after thorough tests and acceptance (in fact, since 0.8.0, it will contain only the code from the latest release).
• devel gets updated from feature branches, after tests and acceptance

Other things of the scheme may be used/adapted as needed (hotfixes for released code and such, very likely release branch(es) will also appear).

Questions?

That's sound good, I do not want master branch to become a mess. Just applied
