Title: Branching considered harmful

Host: Lars Bendix, sneSCM.org and Lund University.

Should branching be considered harmful? I will try to argue that. This is more or less what you will be up for in this CM Coffee Meeting:

• "A journey into the risks, rewards, and realities of branching."
• "Taming the branching beast—before it branches out of control."
• "Why the biggest merge conflicts aren’t in code, but in practice."
• "Branching: powerful, perilous, and overdue for a rethink."
• "Because your workflow deserves better than merge chaos."
• "The hidden costs of branching—revealed."
