Maybe it's a rather psychological barrier, maybe branches are no
longer complicated things with Git, but the "when used to it" is
IMO the point: people not used to it will be scared by 5...60 branches.

At least, they would not have to learn branches even for small features.

Do I undestand right, that with Git it would be possible to do this
corrections/adjustments without spoiling the history -- also if no
branches are used? Then, moving to Git would be helpfull even without
changing the rest of the workflow.
