FWIW, I agree with j6t.  Quoting the part you left at the bottom of
your message (by the way, please do not top-post on this list.  You
quote what others said first, and then you write your response below
that):

All of the three you listed (discovery, transfer, clean-up) become
easier to work with if you used branches, branches have always had
good support for these three (and other) operations, and I do not
see a good reason to add a parallel support to do something similar.
