Cons
Con Directory locking causes issues when changing branches
If you have Sublime Text 3 open when switching branches directories are not removed if they are specific to a branch. This can create a real mess as the directory is treated as a new addition to the destination branch. Deleting the directory is still seen as a directory added then removed in the branch.
