Someone misunderstood '*source* code control system'. And, since by definition those thingies (released binaries or installers) never change there isn't really a point to put them under version control. Let alone in the same repository. Also projects that do this are usually not those you can easily contribute to, if at all. ... > There's stuff that people never do, except in rare exceptions.

That is still very much more than the five seconds for 'git checkout -b mine'. The remaining work is spread out to later, when you are somewhat sure it is worth it. In a way the local git repository is an extended sandbox; you can start branches just like regular work without anyone immediately noticing. It's not just the work but also that you don't immediately appear in the global branch name space. Andreas
