Is there a good receipe on how to do this? Everytime I do it, I try a
different method; since I'm testing out my understanding of things.

It'd nice to have some of these "advanced receipes" that people often do
noted down somewhere.

Sometimes I feel git is kind of like the Emacs of VCS ... there is always
more to learn, even when you think you have a good handle on things.
