The merge works well for f14 because it was branched from master after
the conversion to git.  Prior release were "branched" in cvs and the
git conversion imported those branches with different histories.  So
the first merge you do into an older branch usually needs some
massassing.  There's an open fedpkg ticket to improve this.

On a few of my packages where I wanted to sync f13 from master, I used
this:

    git merge -s recursive -X theirs master

This tells git that when there are conflicts in the merge, resolve
them automatically by preferring the content from the master branch
('theirs').
