It's much simpler if it applies to the head of master.
Try doing this:
1) "git log" and grab the commit ID
2) git checkout master
3) git pull
4) git checkout -b newbranch (or whatever you want to call it)
5) git cherry-pick ${commit-id}
This may give you a clean merge (at which point you can just "git
send-email -1") or it may give some conflicts. These conflicts will be
marked in the source file with:
<<<<<<<<<
code on current branch
=========
conflicting code from cherry-picked patch
>>>>>>>>>
do a hand merge of the differences, then run "git commit". You should
now have a properly merged commit - do "make check && make syntax-check"
then git send-email -1.
