Description

I love the usage of git feature|bug|refactor. But it would be nice to have the same for private branches like

<username>/<branchname> 

and proposed update branches

pu/<branchname> 

Because those branches are good markers (when they are online/pushed to remote) that these branches are maybe rebased and should not touched by another developer.

Research direction

Start at the entry points implementing git feature, git bug, and git refactor, then trace how branch names are classified. Add equivalent handling for / and pu/, while preserving the existing conventions. Done means both branch forms are recognized consistently and existing behavior remains unchanged.
