Certainly you forgot about detached HEADs?  And about the ability to 
create new branches which point to the _exact_ same commit as other 
branches?  And about the option to delete the original branch, not 
removing the commit, or the other branches, at all?

No, this all shows: we _have_ a different branch model from most other 
VCSes, and we _obviously_ make that not clear enough.

Meaning, we should point out that our branches are different, _and_ we 
should describe the light-weighted nature of them better in our 
documentation (especially the tutorials).

Ciao,
