Absolutely. But there remains something in me saying that floating patch management (e.g. like quilt, but better) is also a really nice option to have. Obviously it can be implemented with branches, but it's much easier to do it on top. There's a conceptual difference between undoing a patch that has been merged into a branch, and simply removing a patch from the set of floating patches. > But then again, I use my source control to move back and forth > between about 5 different machines.
