[DEECo] pull requests + forks vs. pull requests + branches

Hi all

we have been discussing with Ilias the possibility of creating a personal
branch in d3scomp/jdeeco (instead of a personal fork to, e.g.,
keznikl/jdeeco) and creating the pull requests from this branch to the
newgen branch.
The whole workflow stays the same, only it is enough to use a single git
repository.
Moreover, when using branches, it is enough to use the GitHub Windows/MacOS
tool and you don't need any cmd line or eclipse commands.

So if you prefer using personal branch in d3scomp/jdeeco instead of a
personal fork (e.g., you want to look at the code of other's from time to
time, or you want to switch often between newgen and your personal branch),
feel free to do it.
Anyway, for the purpose of merging pull requests, nothing really changes.
You can even change back and forth until you make your mind - since your
pull requests would be no different when done from personal fork or branch.

If you have any questions, contact me or Ilias, or read this:

Cheers
