That's not so clear. I get the sense that many of the more fruitful
contributors wrestle regularly with having multiple development
streams of their own and having to merge between them and the master
branches. I'm not that fruitful, but I still tend to juggle three or
four checkouts, which could more profitably be represented as first
class local branches in a distributed system.
