Instead of doing a mixed ball of wax on product specific branch,
can't you do the latter by (1) fix something that belongs to the
framework part of the system on the framework branch, (2) merge that
to product A branch, and then (3) use that fixed framework code to
update the product A?  That way you would never have to merge
product specific part to the framework, which is meant to be product
agnistic (which is the whole point of your "initial removal" done on
the framework branch, if I am reading you correctly).
