Hello team,

Linus Torvalds made a statement regarding merging/branching and stated (as far as I know) that "creating branch is not the issue, merge is", in context of Subversion/Git. I do not find the origin source for that. Can you please help and point me to a statement or article where Linus elaborated on this? Thanks for your help.

Kind regards Michael
