Well, I currently have an issue where unretiring a package lead to some
weird problems for some branches, see:

https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4290#preview

pkgdb would let me take over the f13 branch from orphan, but not f14 nor
master (which ahd been created automatically, probably during dist-git
conversion). Since they've been set up via SCM request, I am able to
push to git but not "fedpkg build" on master. (I can push to all
branches haven't tried "fedpkg build" on them since I'm supposed to
build master first.)

It seems to me that at least the fact I was able to take over f13 from
orphan but not the others is related to per-branch ACLs. But what do I
know ;)
