I'm merging two branches: let's say "dev" is for development of future releases, and "rel" is changes made to the current release for immediate application. Now I want to bring the changes made in rel back to dev. Rather than trying to merge it all at once, I'm applying the changes a few at a time and making sure it still compiles as I go. Then, git-reset and I have dev as my HEAD and the desired merge result in the working tree. Now, I want to introduce the proper commit node to show that this is the graft. But, I don't want to be presented with all the differences that I already resolved; I know what it should look like already. How do I commit the current state of things and have it show up with both dev and rel as parents? (then make that the new dev) I'm also interesting in learning how to do it better next time. But I'm doing the incremental merging now and need to know how to conclude it. --John TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.
