Doesn't need to be that big really. Let's say you release two bundles, A 
and B. After the release, you do further development on B that must not 
affect maintenance releases. So you branch B. The A bundle however, is 
fine. You want to avoid branching of A because all work that you do 
there should benefit both future releases and maintenance on the current 
release.

I think that is a fairly normal set-up. Why would it be considered crazy?

Personally, I think it would be an advantage if egit could support that.
