I don't really see the advantage of separating develop and master.

And personally I am not a great fan of having feature branches in the
mainline repository.

There is a lot about the document and the ideas that are good, but I
don't follow the whole model. For me master is the development branch –
and if using continuous delivery can always be branched and released.
All major and minor releases have separate maintenance branches. with
bugfix releases being tags on that.  This seems enough, I am not sure of
the usefulness of anything more complex. But I may be missing something.
