Here's the process:
1. Add the official Apache repo as a remote in your local clone (one time
step):
`git remote add apache
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-metron.git`
2. checkout whatever branch you want to merge it into:
`git checkout master`
3. Merge the pull request:
`git pull [email protected]:charlesporter/incubator-metron.git master`
4. Push the results to the Apache repo:
`git push apache master`
A git hook will automatically close the github pull request when the repos
get synced.
If there is a pull request that you want to close without merging, you can
simply ask the person who opened it to close it. If that doesn't work, you can
use a commit message to close it.
To do that, make a trivial change, like adding a space to README.md, and
commit and push the change. In the commit message add the text "this closes #N"
where N is the number of the pull request. When the repos sync, the pull
request will get closed.
