I think I know what you are talking about.  Maybe you might be
interested to take a look at TO script in my todo branch [*1*]?

Also there is a sample hook script templates/hooks--pre-rebase 
that uses the same idea used in the said script.  These are what
I use to manage the "next" branch (an aggregation of topic
branches being cooked).

By the way, please do *not* do this:

    Mail-Followup-To: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>,
            Sam Vilain <sam@vilain.net>, Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>,...
	    ...

I wanted to reply to *you*, but by having the header you robbed
about 30 seconds from me, forcing me to edit the "To:"
addressee.


[Footnote]

*1* todo branch does not have *any* ancestry relationship with
my primary branches, so please do not try to merge it in your
primary repository (unless you know what you are doing).  Make a
clone into a separate directory and running "git checkout todo"
there is the cleanest way to peek into it.
