How many commits do you do in a day?

The hardest part is figuring out how to do this without a map.

On a big team, potentially 100's. But if your delivering all commits regardless of branches, why even have branches?

Because they're still useful? A branch is a useful tool for the developers who know their development process includes pushing to and pulling from branch "xyz" while they develop whatever feature they're tasked to develop. That they don't solve every problem doesn't bother me.
