This way he can push changes back into 'dingo' before pushing them back
into HEAD. It makes a lot of sense, actually, to do this sort of 3-tier
approach when multiple people are working on different parts of a larger
sub-project, like for example dingo.
HEAD (top, must work) <-- (dingo, pre-production, test all changes
together) <-- (your individual branch, single set of changes).
You develop in your individual branch, test your changes. If all is
well, you push into dingo, where changes get tested with respect to
other dingo-related changes (which have not yet been pushed into HEAD).
When it's all ready, everything gets pushed at once into HEAD, or in
pieces, but you know that the individual pieces work well together.
This is because dingo changes less often than HEAD.
