But you don't need much infrastructure for branch fixing. Fix it in
repository, and write bug number (you have to have centralized bugtracker
for numbers) or bug identifier in commit message. You write (or post-commit
hook writes) in bugtracker that bug was fixed in commit <commit-id>.
You tell mainline to pull from you. That's all.
