You handle it.  Your writing is clearer than mine.

Peter's confirmed I'm not crazy.  Thanks, Peter.  :)

Right, I messed up.  I was trying to add a description of how to do the
second workflow, with sharing feature branches, so that when people
moved beyond the very simple, they'd have a guide in how to start doing
so.

I think this was a mistake on my part.

Oh, and if I go silent, it's a combination of work and travel keeping me
from commenting, not the state of zsh/git.  Please don't wait on me!
