# determine <tree hash> for HEAD of SRC branch

# create new commit object for SRC tree with current HEAD of DST branch as

$ git commit-tree -p DST -m '<commit message>'  <tree hash>

# move HEAD of DST branch
$ git update-ref refs/heads/DST <commit hash>

Keep in mind the above sequence does not touch your worktree, i.e. to see 
the result
you have to checkout DST.
