Huh?
Both LLVM and KDE are developed on *subversion* and as such
their work-flows are not applicable. Not to mention that KDE is
vastly different in concept and goals than a programming
language.
Subversion is conceptually very different from git and its
model imposes practical restrictions that are not relevant for
git, mostly with regards to branches, merging, etc. Actions
which are first class and trivial to accomplish in git. This is
analogous to designing highways based on the speed properties
of bicycles.
Guess what, I know that. The post by SomeDude just claimed that
release branches in general are impractical and not used by open
source projects, which is wrong.
