	I think the solution to this is to branch.  I don't like getting up 
and having uncommitted code in a tree.  Committing to a branch nobody's 
using seems to make this OK.

	The thing that's kind of weird, though, is that, in darcs, branch 
integration isn't really a separate formal step.  All of the my 
temporary patches come through.  I can't decide whether that's 
desirable or not.
