Interesting, does that only change things you can later clean up by deleting the topic branch (pull-89)? Is the rebase required, even if you have the automatic version of it enabled (rebase/stat=true in ~/.gitconfig, IIRC)? > Or you can use tools such as hub(1) to work with GitHub to get the > patches and apply them on top of your current branch. > > hub am https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/89 >From port:hub, right? What does 'am' stand for (and why not use apply to avoid >the local commit)? SourceTree doesn't appear to have anything to streamline dealing with PRs, though the jury is out whether that's a miss (earlier versions didn't make git's more idiosyncratic aspects any clearer for me). R.
