Sitaram,

Thanks. I realized that you accidentally used i-j-k-l for p-q-r-s.

You said; "When you merge the release branch into master, it will pick
up *all* the commits which exist in release, but do *not* exist in
master."

This does clarify why r does not wind up in master. Thanks for that.
It helps with understanding the underlying git model.

When I said that I would commit the change I don't want to propagate
by itself, all I meant was that if I know in advance that commit r in
the release should not be propagated to the master, it will be easiest
for me to merge the release branch into the master before committing
the r change, then commit the r change, then merge again and then do a
"git revert".without arguments.

But your example shows that it can also be done long after the fact.

Thanks again,
-P.
