I don't really get this. When used to it, I don't think it is
technically a very difficult workflow.
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.
I am pretty sure that people that are not scared to work on LyX source
code will adapt just fine.
Second, does that mean that the less skilled developers are only
allowed to do small things and refrain from the larger features because
they don't know how to use the branches ?
At least, they would not have to learn branches even for small features.
Git branching is easy... really. This is not to be compared to SVN
branching, which is awful. SVN branching is just an optimized copy of
the branched tree, nothing more; it is barely good only for different
release management, like 1.6 versus trunk, that's all.
