Then I fail to see how, as you implied, Aegis will _prevent_ bug fix branches.

OK, so you are.  I think I see now.  You have one line of development for each
of your binary files (possibly hundreds if you're developing a web site).  Each
version of your install scripts know exactly which version of which binary files
it needs.  It sounds pretty messy to me.
