Hang on a second. I need to know *now* more specifically what I can do 
about all the meaningless changesets that I would bring into the main 
repo. I'm not going to charge ahead without knowing at least a little 
about that.

What you have gotten me to  understand so far is that the meaningless 
changesets will be on a "branch" of sorts... there will be some revision 
that has two parents, one of them a long chain of meaningless 
changesets, the other one a truly meaningful revision of the main repo.

My goal is to avoid cluttering logs with meaningless changesets. Can you 
give me some sense now of how that will happen or look?

I'm already comfortable with merging.

Mike
