What happens to the change history for the development checkins?  Do
they disappear, or do they get relegated to a branch that you just
don't push upstream, or do the development checkins just get marked as
"uninteresting" so they don't get displayed by default?  I could
imagine a number of different ways that this could be implemented, all
with different tradeoffs.
