i'm inclined to say that if it passes run_testsuite, it can go on the
main branch.
if it compiles but doesn't pass run_testsuite, it can go on a side branch.
if it doesn't compile, but it seems important to preserve it,
i guess it can still go on a side branch, since it could only
be included in a build by conscious effort.
a larger issue is the development of large-scale projects within maxima.
i believe it's usually best to break up such a project into several smaller
steps, and commit stuff for each step as it is completed,
so long as intermediate steps function correctly without later steps.
for what it's worth,
