Then I think it should be possible. Just need to know how to tell merge to only look at changes from "start of A's mergeable's changes to tip of A". And I don't know that. Or: Should be possible Limit merging to a range How do you do that? (Haiku because ... haiku) On 2017-05-17, at 8:54 AM,

AHH... So what you want is a new, orphaned branch of changes, and you want to merge that new branch into both A and B. Correct? I'll let someone that knows how to set that up chime in. On 2017-05-17, at 6:33 AM, matevz.lan...@borea.si wrote: > Hi, > > > You have a common source "master". >

This sounds like you need "iMerge". Incremental merge -- basically, every small, tiny diff is made, so that all conflicts are tiny. Doesn't mean that they all are easy. If you've ever had one change made in multiple small commits, then things can still be difficult. On 2017-04-30, at 6:47 AM,

I need help with the syntax of rebase. I have a branch, "Dish", that was branched off of master. This was about a month ago. Making a new branch off master, and merging Dish into it, worked just fine. No problem. Now, I have "master", and from it, "merged-dish". Time to update master. All
