That sounds good and is much clearer than the original. However, I
think it still misses one of the important advantages of bound
branches: lock step development. A commit and a push would not be the
same as a commit in a bound branch and the bound branch will ensure
that the commits to the central branch remain in the same order. So if
someone commits to the central branch first then their commit will
always be before mine on the main ancestry line. I'm not sure if this
is possible in git as I am not that familiar with it.

Ithink it could also be nice if this paragraph mentioned lock step
development with a link to a page describing this workflow....
