The document discusses how Git complexity can be reduced by eliminating branches in favor of forks and pull requests. It argues that branching leads to complex strategies and processes that don't scale well. By switching to a model where every change is a pull request to a single master branch, projects can be simplified, mistakes reduced, and collaboration improved. The author provides an example of switching to this approach with the ØMQ project, which saw growth from a few to over 70 contributors as a result of the simpler, kinder process.
