One that I heard was this sequence:
$ git checkout -b work master
$ work work work ...
$ git checkout master
$ git merge work
$ git branch -d work
where their argument was that they are done with the work branch,
and it no longer is needed.
As you may be able to guess, I don't personally subscribe to that
workflow (I'd keep the topic a lot longer, until the result of the
merge is proven to be good in the field), but probably these people
are more perfect developers than I am ;-)

That is indeed an interesting analogy.
