[TYPO3-core] Additional branches on Git

We have enough to do without this.

Fine.

Perfect!

Something that should be described even if it is already "implicitly" on 
[1] is the patch enhancement workflow:

- Currently we have info how to get a patch and possibly enhance it and 
then publish the new patch set to Gerrit. Fine

- What I miss here is, as author of the original patch or from another 
one, how I may publish a patch, get some comments on it, update it 
locally and before I publish it again, someone did that already and thus 
"merge" the new patch with mine possibly keeping additional stuff I had.

- Another possibly more real use case is that I'm the author, I publish 
it, then do not care for it for, let's say 1 week, come back, see that 
there are new patches available, get the latest one and go on.

Of course I may delete it locally and start from a "fresh" base but it 
may not be optimal and, as said, this may help many people to have this 
additional use case described there. Will see if I have such a case to 
document it properly without (partly) wrong assumptions.
