Just to be sure I understand:
1. branching foo-devel from foo is ok
yes, as long as you adapt the necessary fields in PDB like summary and description.
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 ...?
probably okay as long as foo-doc and foo-devel stem from the same specfile. The original idea is to branch foo-doc from foo, but going the detour via foo-devel (which was normally branched from foo) is alright.
