Who is branch, who is mainline? The branch owner _will_ be pissed off if his head version changes each time he syncronizes. What if mainline dies, and the official line moves to one of the branches? What happens when there aren't just two, but a dozen developers swizzling individual csets from each other (not necesarily just resyncing with each other)? If said developers also apply random patches from a common mailing list?
