if you want to merge the whole branch..use git merge (
http://book.git-scm.com/3_basic_branching_and_merging.html ). You might get
some conflicts..resolve them, add them and continue with git merge.

On other hands, if you want to get only some of the commits and not the
whole branch...you can use git cherry-pick (
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Using_Git_Cherry_Pick ). You still
might get some conflicts..resolve and add them and use "git commit -c
<commit id>"

Links provided are good to follow.
