When I make a clone of git.git, oftentimes the first thing I do
is:

	$ git branch -D todo

But I've always considered that a rare exception (i.e. the todo
branch is not related to the main source).  What kind of
unrelated things do you keep in a single repository such that
you do not want to start out in sync with all of its branches?
