I guess it's most depending of your proposed general workflow. So, it
makes sense.

As I understand, a part of your workflow is based on automatic testing
stages. It could be a good thing but I think you have to fit this into a
more general "human based worflow". I mean that parallel developments
should have one or more "official maintainers". Maintainers would have
to care of the history integrity, assume the responsability of passing
the tests, etc.

IMHO, good maintainers you can trust is much better than any "more
automatic restrictive testing suites".

Here is a link talking about that kind of issues that you (and your
maintainers) may be interested in:
