Although we talk about branches with dist-cvs, there's no cvs branches
in the repository that I'm aware of. So I'm wondering if Karel has some
commands that he's using now or if this is a "If we use real branches in
the next SCM, it'll give us the ability to do operation Xyz in a better
way."
Well, there's nothing to really prevent someone from using a branch for
private development. The buildsys won't build off of it, but you can
commit stuff to a branch if you'd like. And of course, there's also the
tagging we _do_ use. Which is similar to a CVS branch. You can actually
do the merge command using tag names too.
I can see some use cases for using branching with git, simply because
branches are trivial to create and work with.
