And gets automerged by our monotone server.

They do. After Poky release I pushed lot of stuff which I had ready on my 
harddisk (unversioned). With GIT I would just do 'poky-after-3.1-release' 
branch which would die after merging with 'trunk'.

For making experiments with Poky I can create branch (via git-svn for now) 
which will have few days of work inside which will then be merged and 
pushed.
