 Your own changes to a project most often go on your own *branch*.
 In the context of a free software project, typically you will create
 and publish a branch with your changes, and upstream maintainers will
 merge from there.

 Let's create two branches (both of which will be used in later
 examples, and which will reside in the personal archive created
 in chapter 5):

 [[tty
   % tla tag -S lord@emf.net--2005/rel--tla--1.3.1 \
                lord@gnu.org--my-hacks-2005/TOP--tla--1.3.1


   % tla tag -S lord@emf.net--2005/tla--fix-1--1.3.1 \
                lord@gnu.org--my-hacks-2005/tla--MYHACK--1.3.1
 ]]

 (In addition to changing the (local) archive name if you run this
 example, you should also change the strings `TOP' and `MYHACK'.)


* Commands Discussed
