Re: How to merge into my working copy?

Basically, I created a branch off my mainline branch a few days ago.
Made some commits on that branch.  Then went back to my mainline
branch, made a few commits there, and now I would like to make my
working copy look like a merge of its current state with the changes
from the branch, minus any associated commits.

I probably should have just used git-stash to tuck those changes away,
but I didn't.

Rather than spending time worrying about optimal ways to do this,
wouldn't it work just to do merge (to get the right tree) followed by
rebase -i to get the commits in the way you want (removing the merge,
anyway)?
