Subject: Re: hierarchical features

Not directly - tho I done this in the past and have thought about turning
it somehow into a command.  But...

1) Start a new feature, call it your-epic
2) git branch -m feature/your-epic to stream/your-epic
3) git flow init - reconfigure git-flow to use stream/your-epic as the
develop branch, use your-epic as the feature prefix
4) start/finish features as normal, git-flow merges features back into
epic/your-epic
5) when finished, git flow init back to normal settings
6) git branch -m stream/your-epic back to feature/your-epic
7) git flow feature branch feature/your-epic

Automating this into some form of "git flow epic start/finish" would be
good, but could be messy keeping track of all the different configuration
pairs, should be doable tho.
