I've got a monotone practice that makes mtn worthwhile even for me when I'm a sole developer (beyond simple versioning).
I have a branch that I use as the basis of software projects. When I start a new project, I check out the *.*.project-base branch, update a config file, and check it in as a new branch. So far, this is like having a tarball of a project base. What makes this worthwhile is the bash script I've written that propagates changes to project-base to every branch that has it as an ancestor (attached). So far, this works like a dream, but I'm a little worried that perhaps I'm overlooking something that will bite me later. Comments?
