Subject: workflow for working on feature branches and incrementally  incorporating "master" changes
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:20:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=h2MbSKmQk9p6w44WORAa8XzkpF0nBXKOgJ4T1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If you're working on a feature branch by yourself, what is a good
workflow for keeping the branch in up-to-date with "master" as you're
developing on the feature branch or is this unnecessary? Should you
just wait until you want to officially integrate the feature branch
into the "master"?

We were doing:

commit to local feature branch
push to remote feature branch
... repeat....
rebase from master (occasionally)
push to remote

but at this point the branches have diverged.

We're coming at this from SVN, so we might just be thinking about this
the wrong way.

Thanks!
