Indeed. I was just trying to think about possible further occasions
where people might be tempted to push their being-worked-on branches to
the server so that they are backup'd on a remote server (without having
to resort to using another private repositories on alioth, for example).

In this particular case, I agree a merge might have done the trick
better.

No problem, but just out of curiosity, how would you handle backup'ing
branches, or making them available from different devel machines,
without using pu/* branches? Private repositories?
