I've been at FB for a few years now (similar style) and this model of a monolithic repo, no branching, and simply submitting 'difs' (a list of changesets / patches) which get merged directly into master after the 'diff' is accepted and you land it seems much easier to me. Maybe it's just because I got used to it, but now whenever I have to touch it I find the branch-based development confusing.
