From: J. Bruce Fields Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 23:04:51 GMT Subject: merging initial part of a branch? Message-ID: <20060111230451.GH8618@fieldses.org> External kernel projects sometimes work only against major releases--it's easier for their users/testers to find a major release than a random git version, and at least in the early prototype stage, it isn't critical to be working on the tip all the time. Is there a simple way to say, for example, "merge in all the upstream changes up to v2.6.15"? It looks like git pull will only update me to the very tip of a branch. I could create a new local branch that stops at v2.6.15, then pull from that. Can I accomplish the same thing somehow with just one git pull? Or is there some other convenient shorthand that I've missed? --b.
