Actually I hadn't pushed them anywhere; I have just done that on the 
paule/devtool branch in both contrib repos. I'm collecting commits on top of 
the original ones, these will be squashed in when I send the first non-RFC 
series.

Well, naming is always tricky. I don't think "workflow" really describes what 
the tool is supposed to do however; the tool certainly doesn't force a 
particular workflow, just provides tools to enable various different developer 
workflows. I'm happy to take other suggestions on naming though.

Cheers,
Paul
