 For sub-project cicn-plugin, the master branch is cicn-plugin/master
 that can be cloned as follows:
 
-$ git clone -b cicn-plugin/master https://gerrit.fd.io/r/cicn cicn-plugin
\ No newline at end of file
+$ git clone -b cicn-plugin/master https://gerrit.fd.io/r/cicn cicn-plugin
+
+## How to manage different master branches
+
+It is suggested to clone each subproject branch in a different workspace to 
+avoid error prone operations. The cicn git repo stores several projects which
+are independent one to another. While access control and isolation is
+guaranteed at a certain level by gerrit, using one single workspace is
+discouraged.
