Subject: Maintaining a fork workflows
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:23:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f7b87f7c1002120123t376f3f14ma3f3bcb21ae2836@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello, I have created a light fork of an upstream project and I am not
quite sure which "syncing with upstream" workflow fits better.

I can think of 3 solutions
1. the obvious one, merge the upstream changes on the forked branch
and make the necessary modifications on the merge commit
2. Rebase upstream commits on top of the fork & make a commit with the
necessary modifications
3. Cherrypick & modify upstream commits

Which practice is considered better?

thanks,
chris
