Git as a branch container and Visual Studio
One of the features, that differentiates Git from other DSCM like Bazaar and non-distributed SCM like Subversion, is that it holds all of your branches within .git repository that's in your working copy directory.
Some of devs consider it a disadvantage: you get main development line and all of the branches in one working copy; others as an advantage - since you get all the repository in one directory.
