I am interested to hear how others use this workflow within their projects. How we use it: We branch before each change, merge back into the master, commit locally and push to our github repo. We then...

I'm handling an exception in a FaultActivityHandler, at the end of which, I wish to end the workflow. To that end, I added a TerminateActivity to the fault handler.
