Up-Front Coordination
The less need for up-front coordination, the better.
You can do a hostile fork. You cannot do a hostile branch. Branches depend on up-front coordination, which is expensive and fragile. One person can veto the desires of a whole group. For example, in the ÃMQ community we were unable to agree on a Git branching model for a year. We solved that by using forking instead. The problem went away.
