    Who told you that? I bet you found that on some Subversion guide, forum, or manual, maybe even on some other SCM website, didn't you? Branches are excellent tools for developers, but they're not correctly handled by most of the version control systems out there, including CVS, Subversion, SourceSafe, Perforce, Team Foundation Server (TFS), and many others. That's why they say branching is not good. It's not true -- branching is great and you should use it on a daily basis, but you need the right tool for that.
