Case in point: a to-do list file that describes what has to be done in all the branches; it can be convenient to put all the things that have to be done in a single, shared file, while keeping this to-do list in sync with the code (so that it lists what has been done, and what remains to be done).  Committing in a branch would in effect also commit the shared file in the other branches (another possibility may be to have in effect many "trees" in a single git directory, with a specific tree for the to-do list).

Not exactly.

The way I'd do this is to put that kind of "meta" file in a branch of its own.

Look at the git.git repo itself for an example of a repo with a few branches (todo, html, and man) that are independent of the actual development branches (master, maint, next, pu).
