They're doing that exact same bullshit right now where I work, because the
system they're using (has nothing to do with the software they're using,
just how they're using it... ugh).

Branch, develop, check in, update, cross compile, fix, checkin, update,
cross compile, etc, merge.
 
It's simple.  It's structured.  And you get to benefit of commenting why
you made each change you did (first change for business logic, subsequent
changes for platform logic).
