Oh, the docs do mention "dcommit" en passant, but nothing explicit.

Can you commit directly from branches? Or do you have to merge to
master to commit?

scripts that will stop on unwanted situation than hope for git/svn to
be safe. From experience, neither is completely trustworthy, though I,
too, can't blame the tools without blaming myself. ;)

If you're up to writing the docs, I'd be happy to serve as the Guinea
