Actually, what I should have said in the first place is that this is specifically nothing to do with the main trunk. We are doing small custom developments for clients away from the main project development. So we specifically don't want to merge or rebase with the master - that's never going to happen. I want to keep the development branch in tact for my reference, but when I push (the custom development branch) to the client I need that sanitized. I think I finally have it clear in my own head now!
