For example, if the fork is based upon 9.78, first check for the changes. Use: + + $ git diff 9.78...mga/distro/mga ':!man/' ':!mandriva/ChangeLog' ':!*.po' ':!mandriva/po' + +In above command git is instructed to hide certain directories. Make sure to run the command from the main directory for this to work. + We try to stick to merging only upstream tags. To do this we would simply do: + $ git checkout distro/mga $ git merge 9.78 You then have the fun job of fixing the (no doubt) numerous conflicts! |
