Agreed. The branching model used by the git project itself is quite effective. Introducing an additional tool isn't always needed. http://git.kernel.org/?p=g

If there existed a git-next tool to document that workflow then it might be more widely known, I guess. There probably is no tool because it's all just normal git stuff. The document mentions: - The tip of 'master' is meant to be more stable than any tagged releases, and the users are encouraged to follow it.
