IMHO the cleanup branches are special in this regard because they are primarily meant as a way to resolve the merge conflicts. If you are able to put all the conflicts between the normal branches into cleanup patches, you can put them all in one branch and base your other branches on top of that. Of course that doesn't always work, but it would solve this particular instance. Arnd
