Staged Changes

A staged change represents the creation of a new object or the modification or deletion of an existing object to be performed at some future point. Each change must be assigned to a branch.

Changes can be applied individually via the apply() method, however it is recommended to apply changes in bulk using the parent branch's commit() method.
