Yeah, we should at least have two branches now:
 - 3.0-maintenance, to apply bugfixes to the released (and quite old)
   EMMS 3.0
 - HEAD, where new code is pushed
 - plus the temporary branches where fun stuff breaks everything, like
   typos-fix and so on, which should eventually get merged into HEAD.

I really need to get up to speed with git :)
