Nice to hear I am not alone on this. The advantage I find is that it makes my deployments more explicit, and my pushes too and from the repository are as often as I feel.
With GIT thats a moot point in the linked article so long as you are using branches for everything and remembering to push them as well, but sometimes I just want to fix something quickly and do so without a branch. I dont care what people say when you start storing a lot of stuff in GIT a branch can take some time to process.

That's what I do, except I use svn rather than git.

You're not forced to use branches with git. They're just so easy that there's no reason not to.
