I just noticed a little drawback with using branches in the main repo. The 
commit message for the pull-request branch comes together with the normal 
commit messages to master and stable branches. This adds noise to the commit 
messages... I can add mail filters at my end, but I wonder if there could be a 
filter on gitlab...
