### What we like

Introduces concept of virtual branches which work off base and allow simultaneous changesets which can be committed & pushed separately, even in the same file. GUI makes it easy to understand and allows drag & drop of changes to other branches.

### Tradeoffs

You can’t use git branches and virtual branches at the same time - you need to pick one.
