I should've tested my own suggestion; I forgot where the refs get sent to after the merges.
In my testing, I did essentially what you typed in your most recent post, and then did git checkout master; git merge feature; git checkout live; git merge feature. This is after the merge into master: http://i.imgur.com/cxBNa.png This is after the merge into live: http://i.imgur.com/sad7c.png It seems that it's done the merge correctly, to me, and it hasn't picked up unrelated commits. Isn't this what you want? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group. To post to this group, send email to git-us...@googlegroups.com.
