Branching in git is as fast as:
echo 7adb0b64823cbdcfbbcac9a9e32c6b435f57d889 > .git/refs/heads/mybranch
basically writing a 40-char string to a file. Because it is so cheap it
completely change many people's workflow. Even for my occasional hacking
of emacs, I have:
* Ferrari
emacs-server
emacs-trunk
git-send-email
ido
ido-old
leo
mac-port
master
processes
It is extremely difficult to lose data in git. So rebase is as safe as
commit. Knowing that I can easily reorganise my private history (it
takes ~ 5 seconds) I also use commit as a way of backup. Using git
really gives you the feeling of using the right tool that is as
intelligent as human being as far as content tracking is concerned.
