The desire for this ability, to sync or purge specific branches, has many possible motives - only one of which is hiding something :)
Having the ability to push, remove and create private branches on a individual basis would make it much easier to use fossil for a gatekeeper based build system. This is something I'd like to see. The original request was for normal branches. Being able to purge a single private branch would be sufficient I think. I like this idea better than the idea of syncing/purging normal branches as the fossil philosophy of convergence on a single data view in all instances has proven to be an important feature.
