For me, individual feature branches feel private, even if they’ve been pushed to a hub repository for others to view and pull. I wouldn’t push to someone else’s branch and I frequently force push to my own branch without worrying what it will do to others repositories.

The only thing that is sacred is the main/master branch. Everything is else just a speculative idea that, until reviewed and applied to master, is ephemeral.

(I’ve tried collaborating on a branch before but at the end of the process it’s hard to review because you either feel like the other party is rubber stamping their own code alongside yours, or you need to find a third party reviewer which spoils the 1:1 nature of almost every other code review I do.)

In my experience, that's part of the negative side of pair programming as well, although I really like it in general.
