Not really, but it depends on what the repo represents. Not all envs can be identical despite the logical preference - non-wildcard SSL certs for example. I think the author here is referring to an infrastructure repo with branch-per-env as a common pattern for devops / IaaC / terraform code bases, versus env-per-folder or similar in the trunk if you absolutely have to have differences between envs. It mentions deploying build artifacts from a parallel CI/CD at the end of the article for running the software running on the infra.
