I think you have something misunderstood:  the branching features aren't
what is necessarily an advantage - it is in the features for merging
branches where Git has an advantage.  Unless it has anything to do with
helping with merging, what you are referring to with the new branching
features in SVN is irrelevant.

One thing that helps with merging in Git is that you can easily keep a
branch up-to-date with the latest changes from the main branch.
