Branches are "cheap" to create, but are "expensive" because too many
active branches tend to increase the probability of mistakes when
people push changes to the wrong branch or merge from/to the wrong
branch.
Branches also make it a bit harder to track changes people install.
So I don't think I like this proposal for changing our procedures.
