Does it make sense to think about this branch as an flow of commits?
Or is it just a starting point for a line of development?

It's really a flow of commits. Nothing will ever really remember what the 
starting point was at some later date if you have done commits, and the 
branch will always follow the _head_ of development on that branch.

That's the important detail.

As an aside, we (a vary large set of developers) have been using SCM
tools for how-many-freakin-years and only now am I seeing something
sane.  Cheers.
