You can create named branches for the special cases and `merge` default
into these when you do general changes.

If you happen to do a change in the special system that you want in the
general systems, you can just commit the change on the special branch
and then `graft` it into the default branch.

(using graft avoids disturbing the flow of changes from the default
branch into the specialized branches)

Best wishes,
Arne
