Huh; I'm not sure that I'm sold on the idea of a 'for-ci' namespace
here. In addition to running 'make test' on patches locally before I
send them, I find it tremendously convenient for GitHub to run them for
me when I push 'tb/' branches up to 'ttaylorr/git'.

So, while the above is more-or-less what I'd expect the monitored list
of branches to look like (at least, ignoring the missing 'for-ci/**'
bits), I wish that I could also build every branch that I push up to my
fork.

Of course, I don't want to maintain a one-patch difference between
ttaylorr/git@master and git/git@master, so I wonder if we could get a
little more creative with these rules and actually run Actions on
*every* branch, but introduce a new first step which stops the rest of
the actions run (so that in practice we're not running CI on
non-integration branches in Junio's tree).

I figure that we need something more flexible than the 'push.branches'
list, but I'd be very curious to hear if something like what I'm
describing is possible.
