Just conversations on IRC where stuff had to be explained. People not understanding that they'd actually cloned _multiple_ branches and they needed to select the one they wanted, making the same kind of stupid mistakes I did with committing to the wrong place, etc. Nothing specific stands out as being fixable, certainly.

Branches have their place, and some people seem very happy with them as part of their local workflow. I just wonder if we have to have them on the servers too; that's all.
