On some of my projects we have long-running branches that are never
merged back into the "mainline" (although changes from the mainline are
pushed out to these branches); this isn't an issue for me anymore,
because these projects will have been retired before darcs-2 is even
released, but perhaps other people have this kind of workflow.
