Correct, and something I have a real issue with in tiOPF (svn)
repository. With Git it is much easier to break such a large feature
into smaller chunks with smaller specific "micro" features. With the
'git gui' and 'git commit -i' you can select specific hunks or lines
of code which must go into the next commit (and still keep the rest of
the changes for later commits) - very different to SVN which pretty
much forces a everything or nothing commit.

Yes, good examples. There workflow and usage of branches and promoting
features is very efficient, and makes releases much easier and stable.

Correct, and that is how I contribute patches to Lazarus project. For
each bug fixes (mine or testing somebody else), or when implementing
new features, I create a "feature" branch, that way I can instantly
switch to a clean (trunk) branch if I need to.
