the thing is I feel like it's not really wrong to say that there are 3 branches in that diagram, even though you can easily argue that it's not technically true
like I think people have an intuitive idea of branches that's different from "a branch is a reference to a commit" and it feels like a lot of git is actually built to support that intuitive idea and it seems weird to try to erase it
