My personal experience recently has been that I am spending as much  
(if not more) time dealing with branch management than with items like  
fixing bugs or adding new features.  As far as developer efficiency is  
concerned, this is a major issue, and one I would rather address  
sooner than later.  But I realize I may be in the minority here.
