Issues are a pain --- what if we stubbed out branches instead? #33

It would be nice if we (mostly) only needed to look at Pull Requests to discuss/review them.

I suggest that instead of creating an issue, we can simply "stub" a branch by making a small change ( perhaps stubbing a folder with a .gitkeep file). That way our conversation all happens in one place.

This would be especially nice for homeworks and lectures.

In theory the Issue should be "planning" "idea" etc; that is, it's the ticket for this issue. And the PR should simply be code / typo review.

That's kindof the standard practice. Not sure if we can do that in practice or if it makes sense for us. It would be nice if they were a little more tightly integrated in github though.

We sorta also decided to use issues to discuss things that won't be merged here. For example I want to discuss the drill for next week with you, but it has it's own repo and will be linked directly from the schedule.
If I put the issue on it's repo then others probably won't see it unless I tag everyone.

Maybe a more global issue tracker is a better choice?
