Do you ever drop a development repo and start over with a fresh clone of 
stable? I ask because while I was toying with pbranch, it seemed like 
the best way to do stuff was to make a clone for a set of pbranches, 
once those branches were accepted back into mainline (in your case 
"stable") I would stop starting new branches in that repo and just store 
the repo away for historical purposes. This way my dev repo wouldn't be 
clogged up with all my past mistakes, only with the ones for the 
patchset I am currently working on.
