Just to be sure I understand:

1. branching foo-devel from foo is ok

2. branching foo-extra-package (assuming it's an entirely different
package, building from its own spec in its own working directory, etc)
from foo is not ok

3. branching foo-doc from foo-devel is ...?

Basically everything is ok that does not involve another tar. If you have
new sources integrated into a package, you need another legal review. Normally
this would apply to version updates as well, but we're defaulting to "will be
ok" there and only veto and revert them if it turns out to be wrong.

Greetings, Stephan
