How do you name your topic branches? We previously used a bug tracking system in parallel with this same process, so we used ticket numbers as the prefix for branch names. On our current project, we are using Trello as the driving tool which obviously doesn't have the simple numbers so we end up with odd inscrutable branch names and I haven't yet found a good way to normalize them.
Each team is free to choose their own way. Personally I like topic branch names that are read like a present tense imperative commit messages e.g. add_feature_for_user_to_like_a_post, fix_relation_between_a user_and_a_post, optimize_search_speed_for_a_user_to_see_posts. The names are long and meaningful. Autocompletion makes these work well.
