[Paraview-developers] Testing a merge

[Fabian, Nathan]

When  I thought to merge my topic branch onto my local master, I expected I would want to also rebase back to origin/master in order to remove the test merge.

I was not thinking "branchy" enough and what you say sounds much more sane.

Not sure I follow what you suggest exactly esp  when you say "rebase
it back out". But if you simply want to test locally the results after
a merge with git-master you should simply do the following:

* create a new branch rooted off your topic branch
> git checkout -b testing-branch

* merge origin master
> git fetch origin
> git merge origin/master

* do your testing
* once done, you simply go back to your old branch and stage-push
stage-merge it.
