An excellent point. I haven't used git, but branching is positively dangerous in SVN. The documentation warns you that you have to manually remember which revisions you've merged or you risk corrupting your source code. I've always thought this was a huge flaw in SVN: without external bookkeeping you can and will corrupt your source when merging branches. If git has a better way to branch and merge, that would be a big step forward.
