Hello, Apart from the problems you mention, I think there may be some troubles related to delta manifests; some weeks ago Richard made a commit related to troubles between private branches and deltas, iirc. I've not tried to use private branches, among other reasons, because I feel they are quite underspecified meanwhile. Merging a private branch into a public branch, what does it result to, for example? What document describes the specific behaviour around private branches?
