This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.
Hold
Ever since there are recurring discussions about the version control strategy that a team should use.
We have also made the experience when new teams start off with using blocking or long-lived feature branches (merge late once all review comments are done) it has a negative impact on team performance.
We recommend to use trunk based development with short-lived (<1day) feature branches, because this has shown to support continuous integration and team collaboration the best. However, we do accept teams choices to use GitFlow, we just do not try to encourage them in the first place.
