Better late than never to comment on this :-)<br>
<br>
Please avoid merging branches this way; many different commits have been<br>
merged at once, which means one is not able to easily check if a<br>
specific commit has been integrated or not, git's merging infrastructure<br>
is not exploited and reverting commits is not very easy, to say the<br>
least.<br>
<br>
If you have questions or need help merging branches, please contact the<br>
kde-utils-devel mailing list or ask in the #kde-git IRC channel in<br>
Freenode, we'll be glad to give a hand.<br>
<br>
What Dakon (in KGpg) and I (in Ark) have been doing when working with<br>
the stable and master branches is the following:<br>
<br>
- Commit into KDE/4.x<br>
- Checkout the master branch<br>
- Use `git merge --log --edit -s recursive -Xours KDE/4.x' to merge the<br>
stable branch into master with a nice commit message.<br>
<br>
I have described this approach in a bit more detail in the HACKING file<br>
I recent committed to Ark's master branch.<br>
