Now I'm more confused :-). Let me try restating what I think the goal
is, then you tell me if I'm on the right track.

The p-b-i branch is currently in a good, mergeable state right now,
and you don't want to interfere with that, because you know Ben Reser
is about to review it. But you also don't want to stop further
development. So, you want one branch for Ben to review, and another
on which you can keep working without interruption.

If this is the plan, let's use clear names to indicate it:

   1. Copy p-b-i to p-b-i-interim-for-review

   2. Continue working on p-b-i as before.

   3. Supply Ben Reser with the exact commands he'll need to review
      p-b-i-interim-for-review, to save him time.

   4. Any tweaks you make to p-b-i-i-f-r, make to p-b-i as well. If
      one absorbs any trunk changes or bugfixes, the other must absorb
      them as well, and vice versa, so that the difference between the
      two branches is always simply the further work done on the p-b-i
      branch.

   5. If Ben wants to review p-b-i-i-f-r as well, he can, but it might
      be more efficient for him to just do p-b-i (or a subset thereof)
      and then we'll see where things stand.

B-e-s-t,
-K-a-r-l
