This would make it awfully hard to revoke someone's access to the
branch, and unless you require the branch key to be used in combination
with a personal key, you have no record of who actually committed each
revision in the branch. Not a good combination.
The phrase 'give him a copy of the key' just makes me extremely wary.
It makes it very hard to define who is trusted to commit to the branch,
and that's something I (or my corporate overlords, at least) would
definitely like to be able to do.
