Pushing several local commits to a remote branch

The Emacs repository still uses sftp, which is slow.  So much so that
one of the most active contributors to Emacs says he thinks twice
before trying to do any development work, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-06/msg00989.html.

Given this sad state of affairs, I thought that perhaps using 
"bzr ci --local" for several changes followed by a single push
could make the life of a contributor easier, as the overhead of
the sftp protocol would be sustained only once.

The question is, since the master repository is on Savannah, is
there any possibility to screw up history either on the master
branch or in the local branch bound to it?

Any advice will be appreciated.

TIA
