So if I understand that correctly: say in my dropobox account there will be

    1. Collaboration/colleague1

    2. Collaboration/colleague2

    3. Collaboration/main

    4. In my machine a cloned main repo.

Then the workflow is.

    1. Colleague  pushes only to colleague 1 etc

    2. Colleague pull only from main


So this is basically the same, as everybody having his own named branch, say
in bitbucket (soon helix)

I have to think about it. Thanks for the proposal.

Regards

Uwe
