Yes, Consider it a scaffolding over which you do not HAVE to walk... but COULD
once people responsible for it will lead you by the hand... one floor at a
time... meanwhile you are allowed to walk beneath remote admins, and Git does
provide you some safer space, no matter how intimidating its shadow is above
your head :-P  Here is an example : Instead of branches, you could have just
used "stash" for now, which I find simpler because of its being local.
