Actually, it works really fine with 30 developers as well. Even from different companies. Did that a couple of times and it was always way better then having a lot of long living branches. I'd say branches don't scale with team size.

In the end it's a matter of your project and trust. If you're doing an in house project it's great.

I find it strange how many people can't even imagine working like that, when it does work so well. It's probably a thing you have to experience to see.
