Sounds reasonable.  It's more dynamic than I thought from your initial 
description as well -- changing it after the initial checkout just for 
awhile, then removing it.  Sort of 'freezing' portions of your sandbox 
without updating to a sticky tag.

Thanks for the insights.  Anyone else have an opinion on this vs. other 
ideas on updates and sandbox management?  If there was a way to combine 
this type of 'freeze' with something to ignore bin directories until a 
release, that could be helpful.  A 'freeze' status with an override on 
ci, tag or a freeze enable|disable that helps manage the 'sometimes' 
committed files.

Thoughts?
