No it doesn’t. It *allows* more complex workflows, but it doesn’t require them. I use it even for my own personal projects, because it has helped so much with my productivity. Even with a one-person workflow.

SVN is crap. The docs go on about “cheap copies”, and how easy it is to do branching. What they don’t tell you is what a pain to try to merge those branches again.

The one thing Git does better than any other VCS is merge branches with minimal pain.
