And that's the nice thing about git... there are so *many* workflow strategies
available, all leveraging on git's extremely powerful branch/merge engine.
You can easily eliminate any "fear of commit" and "fear of branch", because
the merging just works, and when it doesn't, it's all out in the open as to
what's happening.
