I don't have to remember which is most recent, nir even assume that "most recent" is a thing (i.e nonlinear)

It's all just:

- a git fetch --all away to get

- a git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all to find out who's where and when

- diff and whatchanged for contents if needed

- a cherry-pick / rebase away to get what I want, complete with automatic conflict resolution

I can also have local experiments in local topic branches, things I want to try out but not necessarily commit to across all of my machines yet.
