I did not use that feature, as I only switch between different branches
in my code (maybe one for each release). But it seems to have advantages
if you have very big repositories (where switching between branches
costs too much time):

Here is a good explanation of common git workflows:
https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows

Why do you want to develop in different versions at the same time, to
fix bugs? Look at "Maintenance Branches" and "Hotfix", maybe that is,
what you wanted to do?

I am unsure what sort of development workflow would be the best for Gambas.

If I look at a big projekt for example that put its codebase to Git –
OTRS – they did it so:

https://github.com/OTRS/otrs

Look there at the branches and tags. They seem to have ongoing
development in master with branches for the "big" releases. Tags are
used to point to subreleases.


Alles Gute
