Even if branching/merging is not a problem from the technical point of view, IMO branches should be as short lived as possible, and only created when really needed. Long-lived branches can create much technical and community friction IMO, and learning to work in small reversible steps that don't hurt other's code can help the overall project velocity a lot. -Bertrand
