Seriously nice writeup John & Swift team, thanks! I wish I had the benefit
of that in May when I chose not to do a feature branch for OSC's impending
major release, it would have removed the fear of the unknown from that
choice.

I am wondering if there are any corresponding bits of negative advice
around feature branches, of the sort 'don't do X, even if it seems like a
good idea, here is why it is not'.  This is how I see our stance on Git
submodules for example.
