 # Use short branch names
 Branches used when submitting pull requests should preferably be named according to JIRA issues, e.g. 'SEC-1234'. Otherwise, use succinct, lower-case, dash (-) delimited names, such as 'fix-warnings', 'fix-typo', etc. This is important, because branch names show up in the merge commits that result from accepting pull requests, and should be as expressive and concise as possible.
