I've sent the plan as a separate e-mail. As for Github, I pulled your 
master on top of mine, thus you can go ahead and remove all the other 
branches you have after you've verified that master is indeed the latest.
I propose we work on master, with separate feature/refactoring branches 
as needed then merging back into master, for the sake of simplicity.
We can then tag releases from master too. How does this sound for you?
