Me neither. But I think I should. Every time I want to try something new, take a new direction in code or add a new feature I should branch, so I can safely add or remove pieces of code. Things not related to that new feature, like bug-fixes, should be done in the main branch and then get pulled into the feature branch. I'm just too messy with my commits to do that, because it requires making frequent smaller commits, instead of huge ones once in a while.
