I think that's close if I understand what you want. Maybe this gets you the
rest of the way:
(start with a clean checkout)
(work on code)
fossil commit —branch mybranch
begin loop as many times as needed while working on mybranch
fossil merge trunk
(resolve merge conflicts and test merged workspace)
fossil commit
(pass code review) if needed
end loop
now you're ready to merge to trunk, so
fossil update trunk
MISSING STEP: fossil merge mybranch
(resolve merge conflicts and test merged workspace because it is possible
someone slipped another commit in after code review was passed)
fossil commit
