Ahmm, "branch"... :^). I haven't used it but there was a link posted here a few weeks ago to a lecture that Linus gave at Google about GIT. Maybe it's worth the trouble of watching it (he's a very entertaining speaker) to help get your head around how GIT is supposed to be used (a google about "linus google git lecture" came up with many links). One thing I remember from that talk is that basically every time you download from a GIT repository you effectively create a branch.
