That still doesn't quite solve my problem. If I'm tracking origin/master
in a local master branch, I can just use 'git pull' to get my 'feature'
branch (which is named master) updated to the current state of the origin.
This amounts to 'integrating' origin/master into my master.
When I finally want to deliver and push to origin/master, I put on the
integrator's hat, and I cat do a 'git update' that will do the merge
in reverse, and push the result to origin/master. The result will look
like origin pulled my master branch into his.
Problem is that whether to use pull or update depends on whether I
intend to push afterwards; and additionally, if I can push fast-forward
without needing to 'git update' the integration into origin/master will
look weird.
(Oh, and please don't name it 'update' - we have an important alias
of that name.)
