Branch naming conventions

After some consideration, we decided to implement naming conventions in the branchs being created (since it was getting incredibly harder to pick names)

We decided to implement a scheme similar to the one refered here http://stackoverflow.com/a/6065944

Each branch name is composed of the following

category/name

The possible categories are listed below.

Category	Description
bug	Bug fixing
imp	Improvement on already existing features
new	New features being added
wip	Works in progress - Big features that take long to implement and will probably hang there
junk	Throwaway branch created to experimentation

The name should be concise, and directly represent what the branch solves.

Some examples:

bug/issue234

bug/fixeditdb

new/statistics

junk/tryingboostrap3
