Jeff Bezos has a rule; "Two pizza should be sufficient to comfortably feed a software development team". So what on earth does this has to do with git you may ask?
Well, if your git branches ends up looking like a x-mas tree, or guitar hero (LOL!), this is a symptom of complexity, often originating from the size of your team, resulting in that you've got too much "administration overhead". People that initially sees Magic's source code, are often shocked to see the sheer number of projects (40+), without realising that by segregating its projects to such an extreme extent, it's much easier to segregate teams into smaller more easily managed chunks of code, again resulting in that you can create smaller autonomous teams, not interfering with each other, making it easy to "feed each team comfortably on 2 pizzas".
Conclusion? If your git branches looks like "guitar hero", you're probably doing something wrong elsewhere in your organisation. Rethink the way you're working, find the underlying symptom, and watch your "x-mas tree automatically turn into a Redwood tree" ... ;)
