For me, it averages about 1 to 2 times a month when I'm working on projects where everyone is branch and merge happy insane.

Branching is evil and should be avoided. In thirty years as a developer, I have never branched. (Nor have I ever used Git, so take that into account.)

Exactly! And now, all of a sudden, it's branch, do work, commit, do a pull request, merge into "develop", delete branch.
WAF-PITA.

We recently upgraded from CVS to Mercurial, I did quite some research before choosing Mercurial over of Git, despite Git having much more inertia.
Major reason being how branches are handled.
Such a kludge as rebase should have been a major alarm bell going off afaic.
Note though that branching are different concepts in Git and Mercurial, something many people are missing out.
Git branches are more equivalent to bookmarks in Mercurial.

So how would you go about creating a new feature without affecting the rest of the code?
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

We avoided branching for more than a year but it was foisted upon us by management (it's "best practice")
What I hate about branching in Git is that it looks like you lost work, especially if you are in branch A and create a new file then need to switch to branch B. All of the sudden the new file just disappears.
Linus can bite my butt, and all his sycophants too.
Give me back my file locking version control system. I work on files not an image of a directory structure.

Have you read The Git Book[^]?

In two years of using GIT daily I have only done this once.
The way I manage merges is manually - I don't branch and everything that gets pushed up to the main GIT repository has to go through me.
This is possible where I work as there are only two of us.
When pushing live changes it is always me who pushes my repository to the master repository - my repository and the master repository are one and the same once I have pushed the changes live. All changes have to come through me and be QCd' by me.
I manage work on code by ensuring that we don't share the same code hence merges are very rare.
When there have been merges GIT just produces something rather horrible so I always incorporate the merge differences manually.

"Branching" can be a PITA, but it is also a necessary PITA, when needed. I have found that the problems arise when someone on the team doesn't know how to branch and merge (SVN/GIT) or too many developers are working on the same project with the same files. Usually, the later.

Yeah that's insane.
The only time we (meaning myself and the woman I code with) ever branch is when we deploy a release to production. The code base gets merged from DEV, up to TEST, then up to MAIN and over to RELEASE. We then branch off of RELEASE so we can go back to any release version of the code we want.
We've never had to rebuild any repository. Amazing for a TFS server.

They say it's easier on a tablet, but I'm a bit allergic to apps that demand in app purchases.
But I've gotten 18 using a mouse on the normal web site.

One try so far: 12, on my Droid.
I didn't see how tiles become linked and what to do about it when they do.
20 on first try with PC/mouse; third try overall.
