Thanks for the clarification. I've also added a doc to the team repository 
which some documentation for this and the process.

Yes, this is also what I thought about. It is currently hard to follow 
development if you do not read the complete samba commit history.

Also we had a really hard time doing backports in the past.

It would be easier for people who are interested in talloc development but not 
Samba development to follow the project. It would be easier for distributions 
to do backports.

Also I would see it easier to push talloc patches. Running the talloc 
testsuites doesn't take 2 hours ;) Well assuming that the testsuite gives 
enough coverage. If not it should be extended.


Cheers,
