Is there a way to replay a merge on a head that GIT considers unrelated? 

I have been playing with exporting to mbox format with
git-format-patch-script, and applying those to the destination branch.
However, this drops binary files -- and I _do_ have binary files in
some of the projects I work on.

cheers,
