This implies that stacked branches do not work in isolation from heir
"parent" - in the same way that checkouts don't.

So I can't create a shallow/stacked branch of (say) only the last
year's worth of revisions of Python, and carry that around with me for
local use while disconnected? That's a shame, as that's a key use for
me (well, the only use I have in reality...)
