Re: Merge commit before branch tip

I do not even think it is not a best practice.  You can do

  $ git fetch --all
  $ git merge origin/master~1

and git will happily create a merge with message

  Merge remote branch 'origin/master' (early part)

(See the "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section of git-rev-parse(1)
for more examples.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
