Well, as srb has configured it, the prefix part is necessary to be able to rebase.
not sure what he set up, but i guess it is something that specifically allows pushing the rebased branch without a warning. (allow non-fast-forward)
but either way pushing to a branch that is being rebased is a really bad idea. better to keep a few seperate branches for each committer and 'merge' by rebasing other branches on top of yours as needed.
Why is that?
because if i fetch the branch now, then make a change, then you rebase and push your change, and then i push my change after you rebased i'd be effectively undoing your last rebase. i think this can get confusing quickly.
with normal branches this is not a problem because we'd just merge the results...
