11 Not only are branches cheap, they are also very easy to create, and
12 maybe most importantly they can be created at any time, even after
13 the commits.

15 It's quick and painless to create a bunch of commits which aren't
16 really closely related in sequence, and only later clean the whole
17 series of commits up while creating different branches for commits
18 which should actually be grouped rather than mixed all together.
