Escalating Promotion Lines

A variant of the Staged Integration Lines in which changes can be made on the various promotion level branches according to the degree of stability required by the development team.

This variant in inherently less stable than other staged integration lines, but for small teams it does allow more flexibility and developers do not have to wait so long for changes to clear the formal promotions before using them as the basis of new changes.
