The administrative effort of all of three commands? (Switch
branch then merge, plus check in – with the usual release
procedure being performed inbetween, prior to check-in.)

As I indicated by "idle musing," I was thinking in general terms
about the keep-everything vs ignore-generated debate. If it's
only `MANIFEST`, the overhead of that particular approach is
wasted, no doubt.

No it doesn't, each branch can keep a different list in
`.fooignore`.
