No it wouldn't.  It would mean that some other little feature would be
needed for private development branches.

Why present an easily-address wrinkle as if it were an insuperable problem?

I generally don't commit a change until I am ready to install it.  But
if you want to commit changes locally, it is easy to set up ways to do
that.  For instance, set a flag in that directory which would say
"don't push automatically".
