There is no reason you can't do exactly what you want. Most people
familiar with git tend to use a single repository with multiple branches,
but either works. Multiple branches will consume more disk space, but in
this day and age, who cares?
A note about cmake, git, and MSVS: If git merges a cmakelists.txt file then
do a MSVS build, MSVS will note the change in cmake file, rebuild the MSVS
project files for the build underway, and corrupt the dependencies
database. You can recover by finding and deleting the dependencies file,
but it is better to use cmake directly to rebuild the MSVS project files.
I've used CVS extensively, bitkeeper unwillingly, and bazaar
unenthusiastically. Git is head and shoulders above the rest (I will say
that if I was faced with bitkeeper again, I'd find a different line of
work).
Oh, creating a branch is dirty cheap. The only catch, and it isn't
significant, is that you have to commit your changes to the current banch
first.
