These branches are in dev's private fork, so I'm pretty confident the
devs can manage their own backyard. They also don't have to import every
branch from main repo to their private repo, AFAIK.

It has a completion widget there, and I still not sure what is
"something" you're looking for there. Is it "PHP-5.6"? It's not hard
to
