I'm not sure this is even a sensible question....

I have a whole bunch of customer branches with all manner of local
tweaks and modifications. I also have a stable branch with all my
security patches and bug fixes. They do share common ancestry.

I now want to update all my customer branches with the latest fixes
and patches. Naively, I would just check out each branch and merge the
stable branch - job done. However, is it sensible to ask if there is a
way to say that the stable branch is more important if there are
conflicts. Or should I be using rebase instead (which I still don't
really understand). I'm trying to reduce my workload as there are
loads of branches to do.

Cheers :-)
