This is exactly what I would like to see. Literally a mechanism to mark
branches "hidden" where the markers are propagated on sync is all it would
take. A .fossil-settings/hidden-branches file might be a good way to
achieve this.

==== from my previous post ====
I could do my messy work on a branch that I will later hide and when happy
with the result merge to a branch that I would keep visible. This keeps
history intact but makes a nice uncluttered clean view available that
captures only the important aspects of development and hides the noise.
