It's also true in any VCS that makes branching and merging both fast and 
safe. E.g. when I used to use PRCS - a little-known VCS with some very 
nice features - I would just always commit to my own private branch, 
whenever I felt like it. Periodically I would then run a quick sequence 
of commands to synch up with coworkers. Similar to CVS' trunk 
update-modify-commit cycle, but with the intervening revs saved in the 
repository.
