If I have three alternative approaches to handle something I can easily create three local branches and switch between them to test which is better. And if I do somthing stupid (which I always do!) I can easily revert to a previous version. The feature of local branches does sound useful. I don't see the difference between pulling from somebody (after a review) and applying the patches attached to a mail. Is it possible to "pull from somebody" when his machine is not on line?
