Layered repositories

Which is still not satisfying, since I need to have layers actually hide
or replace files from lower layers, like the postfix configuration file,
which is the same on all my machines except the mailservers.

Also doesn't revert undo my changes?
Say I've modified some configuration option on the box. My usual process
would be to update (if I forgot to update before my changes...), then
commit my change.
But with the update process you explained I would probably lose these
changes?
Can I still commit files which are not in the head I checked out last?

best regards,
