Dear diary, on Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 01:40:26AM CEST, I got a letter where Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> said that...

Well, I don't know. Cogito should stay simple (and stupid) and if you introduce too much choice, you will lose that. Especially if the choice is in something already so confusing as branching. And for larger repositories or more complex distributed branching situations, the separated-remotes model is clearly superior, so I'd rather keep it for the simpler cases as well, since if it introduces any hassle, I believe it's only very minor (and pays off in the long run for the simpler setups as well, I believe).
