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.
