The gem builder only builds from master, so if you don't want this code in
master but you want a gem built you'll have to use a second repo. You can
still use the same name in the gemspec to get the correct gem name however.
If you consider the code to not be ready for prime-time yet, you probably
shouldn't be pushing out gems with the same name and higher versions.
Anyone who had installed the gem that's in your master would get updated if
they ran `gem update`. Perhaps it is best to keep the code in a second repo
and build it under a different gem name?
