I found out a small inconvenience of this approach.

    1. I work on my secret branch, but find a fix. So I

       a. Running hg ci -i  I only commit this fix

       b. I shelve the other changes.

       c. I merge that change set into default.

    2. Now that change set is secret and I need to change it to draft.
       This it was a merge all of my change sets in my secret branch
       also turn into draft.

    3. When I use graft, this problem does not occur, however as I said
       in my earlier email there (almost) no indication in the graph of
       a graft operation (I use the --log option and then I can see that
       message). Anyhow it might be good enough.
