Subject: Egit: how to merge after fetch (or pull)
Message-ID: <3ae83b000904081456i37ad65ate133469fa9a8f23c@mail.gmail.com>

I'd like to pull a branch before I do more work on it.  After fetch,
git status says the branch is behind origin by N commits.

Can you tell me if there is an operation I can do via egit to get the
origin changes onto my branch? (Most of the documentation I found for
Egit appears to be before the fetch command was implemented.)

In the mean time, I've been using 'git pull'. Unfortunately, I found
that it's important to shut down Eclipse while doing a git operation
using Cygwin - a GC run when Egit had a file open caused a problem in
the repository that subsequent pushes propagated to my GitHub
repository.  It would be nice to work entirely within Eclipse.

Thanks!
John
