I second this - it's what I've been trying to say and failing, I suppose.
 This seems like the natural way (and how I've done it on any other
project), and avoids the need to lock out any working branch from commits.
 The only reason I can see for avoiding this process is if you believe that
merging is somehow difficult or impossible.
