Right - `git diff` shows the different between HEAD (The last commit of the branch your are currently on) and what you have yet to commit.
I was doing the diffs compared with the origin/* branches, as shown in the gist, https://gist.github.com/2165086
2 commits will be merged - Assuming nobody else has changed 5.3 since the last time anyone merged it into 5.4 If on the other hand, someone else committed to 5.3, did not merge to 5.4, and you have that commit in your 5.3 branch.. then the merge will do 3 commits, even though you only made 2. This is likely what you saw.
Maybe! At this stage finding the best workflow that allows multiple local branch directories to co-exist and aligns with PHP's general git processes is the issue. I notice Dmitry mentioned git-new-workdir. Does anyone have a workflow and comments on that (including with respect to NEWS)?
`git log --oneline --graph` is a useful command to try and understand what happened, and what was merged where..
gitk shows this too.
Thanks, Kiall
