The only thing you would have to worry about is rebasing your commits if
they are already pushed.

If you are working on a topic branch to make your changes, which has not
been published, just rebase that branch on master, then merge it to
master, and no one knows any different.

I'm going to start a thread on the signatures, because I have a question
about that.
