Our sprint model has been to set up a throw-away sprint repository
somewhere accessible (github, bitbucket, wherever) and have everyone
commit madly to it however they want. Afterwards a few brace souls
take the result and commit it to the master repository in a more
orderly fashion.

While we're talking about sprints, I just wanted to put out a reminder that the PSF wants to support more of them. See www.pythonsprints.com and/or email sprints@python.org
