I'm kind of doing something like this for python-pip.  I'm (slowly) working on
updating the whole stack to the latest upstream, but I'm also maintaining
1.5.6.  I just created a release-1.5.6 branch and switch to that when I'm
doing stable maintenance, then switch back to master when I'm working on the
new upstream.

I have an upstream-release-1.5.6 and of course when I `git-dpm c-p` on the
release-1.5.6 branch, I end up in a patched-release-1.5.6 branch.  Really, I
don't do much special other than switch to the relevant branch; all other
workflows seem to continue to do the right thing.

Cheers,
