I think this philosophy must come from revision control systems that make
branches expensive.  With my git development, everything I checkin is
already on a branch.  I can very cheaply create new branches.  It is
typical to have several branches going at the same time, especially if I'm
working on more than one idea at a time.

But, without free branches, it's probably hard to see just how useful this

No, it's more about "what does a branch indicate?".

For me, a branch is something that is *not* going to get reintegrated back into the main line later on in the future. And, Lan's examples seem to be pointing in that same direction.
