I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for this issue.

To start our update to CAS 6.5, we cloned the cas-overlay-template 
repository from github, then made our modifications, checking them in to 
our own repository as we went along. Now that there is a new version, I 
thought the right thing to do would be to pull the latest from the 6.5 
branch. However, doing so results in one of two things:

   - *without rebase*: an error that says, "fatal: refusing to merge 
   unrelated histories"
   - *with rebase*: many, many conflicts that have to be manually resolved

I wound up doing a fresh clone to a temp directory and using WinMerge to 
apply the diffs and then commit. My guess is that git can't do a good job 
of merging the changes from 6.5.0 to 6.5.2 because the cas-overlay-template 
repository doesn't keep the commit history.

Appreciate any help or hints
Thanks
