Hi all, Back in April, I created some wrapper scripts around git-cherry(1) and git-notes(1), which can help when you have more than a trivial number of commits to upstream or backport from one branch to another. Since then I've improved these tools, and also written a higher-level CLI which should make the whole process pretty easy.
Last week I finally finished a blog post with all the details: http://blog.adamspiers.org/2013/09/19/easier-upstreaming-with-git/ in which I demonstrate how to use the tools via an artificial example involving backporting some commits from Nova's master branch to its stable/grizzly release branch. These tools worked pretty well for me and my team on code outside OpenStack, but no doubt some people will have ideas how to improve them, or have different techniques for tackling the problem. Either way, I hope this is of interest, and I'd love to hear what people think!
