I'm also not just talking about long-term, named branches, but the local, unnamed branches that are just part of the workflow of a dvcs. We can only enforce the end state of what someone pushes, if we try to enforce intermediate steps, it's way too easy for someone to get their local repo into a state where they can never push again. There's nothing preventing people from creating and merging branches locally. Peter
