I have updates that branch now.

I can't think of an easy way to do that.  What others do is merge such
branches into a (stably named) branch that I include in linux-next.
When the topic branches get updated, you either just merge them into
the linux-next included branch again, or you reset that branch (to some
upstream) and remerge all the topic branches (like in the case when one
or more is not just fast forwarding or is removed).
