The answer here is both no and yes. [1] Your issue here lies in a misunderstanding of how Git (mis?)uses the word "branch". ** branches ** In some other version control system, a branch is a very real, concrete thing. Creating a branch makes something permanent. New commits, once made, are on *that* branch, and those commits are *only* that branch. Git is different. A branch is -- depending on your point of view -- simply a *temporary name* for *one particular commit*.
