David,

Yes, the reason to start with the "--no-commit" merge is so that the history
is properly connected once you do the final commit step.  However, I should
have noted in my original message that none of the steps actually use the
subtree merge.  Instead they simply prepare a repository such that
future merging can be done with:

   $ git merge -s subtree B/master.

Cheers,
Sean
