Actually, try this for a data point:

 git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
 cd lilypond; gitk

what you will see is the history of LilyPond, which is not massively distributed
by any standard. If you press page down a couple of time, you will see 
'parallel'
development and merging of several topics, eg.

 - Spacing features by Joe Neeman
 - Release fixes by me
 - translation updates by John Mandereau and helpers
 - doc updates by Graham Percival and helpers

these all happen in parallel. In particular, I am the release coordinator,
and I always make releases which are effectively branches. This means that 
I can make small fixes (eg. a make dist failure) to build a release locally
and merge them back into the repository HEAD later. My releases are 
not inconvenienced by large hacks that are pushed to the HEAD.
