worse idea ever.

if you need to have branches in your code, learn how to use your source control environment. even cvs lets you branch your source tree.

This is not an attempt at branching, this is a trick.

The protip is not to use the trick, but to know about it. Read the tip, try to understand the intention - then criticize. Thank you kind sir.l
