Unfortunately, I'm not quite ready to adopt your workflow. I built Emacs with a script and install it to /usr. I want this to be based on master. To test a new feature I’d thus need to merge the feature branch or forego differences between master and the feature branch in question. IOW: Too many branches seems like unnecessary fragmentation.
