Yes. My entire point is that you can always replicate branches with actual, explicit files, and that this is a good thing to do because files are (very often) better than branches. Files plus some editor discipline are essentially equivalent to branches.
Files+discipline are better than branches, according to standard unix philosophy: (1) everything is a file, (2) protocol not policy.
