That's called a feature-branch ;-)
The nightlies and CI scripts fully support feature branches since
a couple of months (i.e. the same branch is checked out on all
dmd, druntime and phobos).
Currently it's only used for `scope` and `newCTFE`:
http://nightlies.dlang.org
Currently not much is happening on these feature branches and
thus Martin is running the builds on demand by hand.
However, from a technical point of view, it would be rather easy
to use this for more feature branches ;-)
