[core-workflow] GitHub Workflow

[Oleg Broytman]

An interesting example of GitHub Workflow (used by Frameworks team at BBC
News): http://www.integralist.co.uk/posts/github-workflow.html

The basis of their workflow is this:

-- Open a GitHub PR (Pull Request) by creating a new feature branch
   from master
-- Make feature specific changes and request a code review
-- If given a "thumbs up", this means the PR author is allowed to
   handle merging the PR
-- The merge process requires a set of sub steps (see below)

The steps (in summary) are:

-- Interactively rebase master onto the feature branch
-- Squash all feature commits into a single commit:
   -- (this isn't exactly a squash)
   -- the first line of the commit message should be the same as the
      GitHub PR title
-- As part of the rebase ensure:
   -- the author(s) is mentioned in the commit message
   -- the PR is mentioned (and any associated issues as well)
-- Move back to the master branch and cherry-pick in the newly squashed
   feature commit
