I actually misread something...
The "personal branches" feature is actually a bit different than what I
originally described -- there are two ways you can do this.
The first is that you can have a branch that is *only* given to you when
you clone because it is stored in a private ref area. This keeps
checkouts lean, because nobody sees others' personal branches, but also
makes collaboration difficult. Not to mention that you wouldn't see this
in cgit/redmine.
The other way to do it is simply to allow people to create branches with
a specific namespace -- e.g. personal/myname/mybranch -- but that are a
normal ref that everyone gets. This makes the checkout size of the repo
go up (although generally slightly) and means everyone sees all of them,
but it also means cgit/redmine see them too.

Right, that could be a good way to do it. Personal branches are for
in-development features that you expect to merge into trunk; totally
wacky things (or maybe super long-term ones) can be developed in
personal clones.

Both branches *and* clones :-)
