IMHO, three branches are required as a minimum - stable, integration and 
development because there are multiple primary developers in core Pharo 
working on different OS platforms.

Changes will move from primary developer (dev) for individual components 
on their own reference OS (or OSes) to full build (integration of all 
components on all supported OS plus regression tests) and then onto 
stable. The integration branch has to ensure that there are no major 
regressions before merging a change to stable.
