Even in the case of single-commit features? I completely agree with more-than-one-commit features because otherwise you don't know where the feature implementation starts and ends but having it for minor one-commit features seems like overkill to me.
Lets just use commonsense and judgement, it won't be right every time but often enough to be useful.

I'm not against this idea completely, I just don't feel Geany needs it. If you branch before release it adds some overhead because many commits will go both to the release branch and to master. Anyway, new release is far away so there's plenty of time to decide what's best for Geany meanwhile.
Yes, and when closer can have some practice releases.
