Analysis of various strategies for handling topic branches

Hi folks,

        I have been working on an analysis of various strategies people
 have posted about for handling topic branches, and an exploration of
 which methodology has advantages, and whether there are scenarios in
 which the _other_ work flow would have been better.

        The paper was mentioned in my blog (syndicated on the
 vcs-package blog aggregator), but now has been greatly expanded with
 help and feed back from readers (and now has pretty pictures to go with
 the text).

        I see this as a work in progress, comments and critiques
 welcome, and I'll try and meld any resulting discussion back into that
 page.
