When you commit to the staging branch on your development machine, you can then update both working copies without problems -- the production branch didn't get committed to so it won't change, and the staging branch did so the staging WC will update.

It is quite easy to set up strict commit rules with a precommit hook script, so the merging
and committing to the production branch can be limited to certain people, even to commit
messages containing trigger keywords like "updating production".
