by every contributor to Linux: such extreme visibility does not scale
well.  Contrast Fossil, which was written for the cathedral-style SQLite project
and its handful of active committers.  Seeing all
changes on all branches all at once helps keep the whole team
up-to-date with what everybody else is doing, resulting in a more 
tightly focused and cohesive implementation.

<h3 id="checkouts">2.6 One vs. Many Check-outs per Repository</h3>

Because Git commingles the repository data with the initial checkout of
that repository, the default mode of operation in Git is to stick to that
single work/repo tree, even when that's a shortsighted way of working.

Disk space is cheap. Having several working directories — each with its
own local state — makes switching versions cheap and fast.

Plus,
<tt>cd</tt> is faster to type than <tt>git checkout</tt> or <tt>fossil
update</tt>.

<h3 id="history">2.7 What you should have done vs. What you actually did</h3>

Git puts a lot of emphasis on maintaining
a "clean" check-in history.  Extraneous and experimental branches by
individual developers often never make it into the main repository.
Branches may be rebased before being pushed to make
