To be consistent, I think the result should be "as if the change was commited only to the topic-branch and then the topic-branch was *merged* into the testing-branch", since you start your testing branch as "being the result of several merged topic-branches". I do that (manually) all the time, with: $ git checkout next $ hack hack hack $ git checkout -m one/topic $ git commit -o this-path that-path $ git checkout next $ git pull . one/topic Giving a short-hand for the last four-command sequence would certainly be nice. > I am your number one fan!
