So, one opinion I've gotten from someone who's been a contributor in the
past detailed a real-world experience in which this person found the
current branch implementation to be worse than useless.  The opinion was
very negative and reflected most of my fears about how the feature might
play out in the real world.

I think, perhaps, that this feature should be revisited and something
else should be thought of instead.
