Comment on Linus on keeping a clean git history (2009)parent

svn always seemed limited to me if your dev team grows beyond the capability of utilizing simple verbal communication to mitigate problems when merging.

Personally, I've never been a fan of branching and merging. I don't think it works well at all for small groups. Maybe if you're in a big corp. though.

What do you do if you want to commit a half-finished feature? Do you only commit in very large-grained chunks?
