I think it'd make sense to have an auxiliary repository for people to
put temporary and development branches into. Ideally different
developers could even create their own entire repository, but I'm sure
that'd be a lot more work to set up. At various places I've worked
where git was in use, we usually had a main repo that has release tags
and official branches and is pretty locked down and then have a
separate scratch repository for developers to publish various branches
in progress.
The scratch repos generally get pretty messy pretty fast, but at least
the average person that just wants to poke at the source doesn't have
to sort through all of that. They just clone the main one.
