It can be safe and correct, IF DONE RIGHT. If you look at the archive as
a distributed storage with one master copy, you can select different
copy to be master at a point where they are consistent. On the other
hand, having two branches and star-merge is simpler and you can commit
to one and then to the other branch without havig them synced in
between (because they are different branches).
