I do not see much niceness value to such an option, though.  I think such
a switch is going the opposite way from improving usability.

You cannot bisect the history with such a draconian switch when you learn
from somebody that 'maint' is Ok but 'master' is broken, and you already
know it is a regression somewhere introduced in 'master', because you know
you did _not_ fix it (or at least you do not remember fixing it) only for
'maint'.
