We have master and a second branch in our repository. We are merging from branch to master every few days. Master has almost no new changes at this time (other than the merge commits), development is happening entirely on the branch. The latest merge is failing with a merge conflict. I can

I am sure this can be done. The problem is: 1. It would be a complex setup and may require a lot of maintenance to keep up to date 2. It would add a whole new potential bug element. In other words, if the setup, or how it worked, had a problem, you'd have something to debug that would
