Silly or not in your opinion, the Qt-KDE team repositories are set up this way. They seem to like it and I don't think the project as a whole ought to try and force them to do work a different way. Additionally, other tools, like git-dpm, have their own requirements for branch naming. That's the one tool that got me using git for packaging, so it would be nice if it kept working. Please send patches so it works with the new scheme as well as conversion scripts for existing repositories.
