Another big difference from git-flow is that we push to named branches on the server constantly. Since the only thing we really have to worry about is master from a deployment standpoint, pushing to the server doesn't mess anyone up or confuse things - everything that is not master is simply something being worked on.
It also make sure that our work is always backed up in case of laptop loss or hard drive failure. More importantly, it puts everyone in constant communication. A simple 'git fetch' will basically give you a TODO list of what every is currently working on.
