Sorry, but this is completely irrelevant for the discussion. As
far as handling the »main repository« is concerned, Git and SVN
are not that different – you can do branches in both, even if
they are more comfortable to use in Git.
Go has a "there will only ever be
the default branch" model,
Which is what we currently have with dmd on Git.
No. The Go guys also use a separate Mercurial branch for
preparing releases, while development continues on the main
branch.
