I really like that approach for the core development team that has write access 
to the repository. 

I was going to suggest we have a 'stable' which tracks 'master', but the same 
idea..

A nice thing about either approach is that the blessed branch could contain all 
the generated automake files, and we could keep those out of the daily (or 
hourly!) churn branch. Rebasing would cause no conflicts wrt generated files 
that lived only on the derived branch, AFAICT. 

Would that be an acceptable compromise?
