A good insight. It makes sense to separate feature branches
("branches", "personal") from release branches ("releases").

For "personal" branches we've established /home/USERNAME at the top
level of our main repository, though this is used for much more than
just that. I, particularly, have a lot of smaller projects there
because, honestly, I've not taken the time to rexamine the
repositorie's structure in order to find an "official" place to put
them. It's a little messy.

We don't make use of feature branches for the main projects, but I do
make use of them within some of my /home projects.
