Why the magic? The typical workflow in git is

1. You work on a branch, i.e. edit and commit and so on.
2. At some point, you decide to share the work you did on that branch 
(e-mail a patch, merge into another branch, push upstream or let it by 
pulled by upstream)

I fail to understand why these two steps have to be mixed up. Someone 
care to explain?
