People in academia have proposed a number of tools & approaches on how to enable concurrent development while mitigating the "risks" of branching.

To name just a few:

* Palantir by A. Sarma et al. [1]

* Crystal by Y. Brun [2]

* CloudStudio (project I worked on); Video demo: https://youtu.be/R3Fz0Tcdz0Y

To the best of my knowledge, however, none of these projects have found any widespread adaption. A lot of it also has to do - I think - with culture and personal preference.
