You're fellow dogs may need more details in order to decide that ;)

In general, I would recommend one branch (be it master) for changes
which apply to all clients (I guess that's what you mean by "versions,
all the same except..."), and one branch each for specific changes (to
config etc.).

Then just make sure to merge in the right direction, i.e. merge the
general, common branch into the specific ones.

Cheers,
Michael
