This local dance is only necessary when one commits to a "main" branch
while working along (main meaning that there are other people outside
doing the same).

What I usually do is to work in local work branches (and possibly
publishing them, depending on whether others want to see what I'm
up to).

Only when something is agreed upon to go into such a main branch it
is merged (and pushed, as quickly as possible) to avoid the kind of
situation you described.

In bigger projects, there's only one person (or a closely-knit group)
who is supposed to touch those "main" branches, and typically /only/
by merging.

Cheers
