What is the benefit of this approach? Why can't you just use the vanilla
default branch without a topic. The whole point of topic is to help you
distinguish changesets[1]. But a general topic is not really helpful, I think.

Footnotes:
[1]  the only disadvantage of topics compared to named branches is you
     still can not make a no-fast-forward-merge.
