The idea is not to keep merging the master branch into your development branch to keep up to date (this makes for really ugly history). For single commits, merge back into master (hopefully this should be a fast-forward merge), which then creates an svn-like timeline. For bunches of commits, merge back into master with the --no-ff switch to ensure that a merge message is generated (this makes it much easier to find those grouped commits later). After the merge, push back upstream.
