4.4 Project analysis - git branches

Reduction by 15 words. "Branch" is fine as a verb, and "off"
is fine as a preposition; there's no need for a second preposition.
"We branched off the main forest path onto a smaller path".

 \subsection{Projects as Git branches of Maneage}
 \label{sec:projectgit}
 
-Maneage contains only plain-text files, and therefore it can be maintained under version control systems (currently using Git).
-Every commit in the version-controlled history contains \emph{a complete} snapshot of the data lineage (for more, see the completeness principle \ref{principle:complete}).
-Maneage is maintained by its developers in a central branch, which we will call \inlinecode{man\-eage} hereafter.
-The \inlinecode{man\-eage} branch contains all the low-level infrastructure, or skeleton, that is necessary for any project as described in the sections above.
-As mentioned in Section \ref{sec:maneage}, to start a new project, users simply clone it from its reference repository and build their own Git branch over it
-This is demonstrated in Figure \ref{fig:branching}(a) where a project has started by branching-off of commit \inlinecode{0c120cb}.

-After a project starts, Maneage will evolve, for example, new features will be added or low-level bugs will be fixed.
-Because all projects branch-off from the same branch that these infrastructure improvements are made, updating the project's low-level skeleton is as easy as merging the \inlinecode{maneage} branch into the project's branch.
-For example, in Figure \ref{fig:branching}(a), see how Maneage's \inlinecode{3c05235} commit has been merged into project's branch trough commit \inlinecode{2ed0c82}.

 This allows infrastructure improvements and fixes to be easily propagated to all projects.
 
-Another useful scenario is reviving a finished/published project at later date, possibly by other researchers as shown in Figure \ref{fig:branching}(b), e.g., assuming the original project was completed years ago, and is no longer directly executable.

 Other scenarios include projects that are created by merging various other projects.
-Modern version control systems provide many more capabilities that can be leveraged through Maneage in project management, thanks to the shared branch it has with \emph{all} derived projects, and that it is complete (\ref{principle:complete}).
