Multiple branches in one [public] repository help sharing data. While you
can do similar with sharing object database (via alternates mechanism)
the second solution has drawbacks the multiple branches didn't have.
IIRC multiple branches was not something _planned_ by Linus when creating
git; users requested this feature, and it turned out to be useful.
