Ideally there should be _some_ mechanism for committing unfinished
work to a (probably encrypted) repository on, at least, a daily
basis.

The more I see of this thread, the more it seems that the problem
is largely the fault of the particular VCS being used.  A VCS that
demands a "review" step before anything can be checked in, even on a
"work in progress" branch as opposed to the mainline, seems a poor
fit for a project in which developers are not permitted to see one
anothers code.
