You only really need to use a branch in the canonical repository if you are going to do non-scratch koji builds. Otherwise you could just make your own forked repository, which git supports nicely. (You can put it on your fedorapeople site, for example.) OTOH, sharing it centrally is a fine way to make it easy for people to find your branches.
I think I might try a separate repo on fedorapeople, and see if I can get it to work (there are limitations such as filespace that might cause problems). I do intend to follow the suggested naming convention though in case it makes sense to switch back to the canonical repository for some reason.
