21 Good thing - well. Hmm. It'll make a few things marginally easier, and a
22 few things a lot harder. So that adds up to "Meh"
23
24 It'll force people to adapt to new and exciting workflows (and
25 excitement is not something I demand), but I guess people are in need of
26 Change.
27 (What's more fun than having 4 unsynchronized checkouts and
28 cross-merging between them?)

30 As long as people will document things, be prepared to fix the random
31 breakage that will happen (ey, git lost its head, now what?), etc. etc.
32 ... I'm pretty much indifferent.

34 Should people try to change things and not document things (thus trying
35 to make my life more difficult) I'll do what I can to be lazy and get in
36 their way, fair is fair :)
