This tool helps to manage integration branches.

For example, say you have a repository with three branches:

 * feature-a

 * feature-b

 * maint

And you have an integration branch named 'integration' where you merge all

these branches on top of 'master'.

You can generate the instructions needed by `git reintegrate` with this

command:

------------

git reintegrate --generate integration master

------------

Which would generate instructions like:

------------

base master

merge feature-a

 Merge work in progress feature-a

merge feature-b

 Merge feature-b

merge maint

 Merge good stuff

------------

You can edit the instructions with `git reintegrate --edit`.

The simplest way to begin an integration branch is with:

------------

git reintegrate --create integration master

git reintegrate --add=branch1 --add=branch2 --add=branch3

------------

To regenerate the integration branch run `git reintegrate --rebuild`, if there

are merge conflicts, solve them and continue with `git reintegrate --continue`.

You probably want to configure `git rerere` so that each time you resolve a

conflict it gets automatically stored, so the next time Git sees the conflict,

it's resolved automatically:

------------

git config --global rerere.enabled true

------------

== Installation ==

Simply copy the script anywhere in your '$PATH' and make it executable, or run

`make install` which will install it by default to your '~/bin/' directory

(make sure it's in your '$PATH').

== Acknowledgements ==

This is a rewrite of John Keeping's `git integration` tool

(https://github.com/johnkeeping/git-integration[link]) , that provides a

one-to-one mapping of functionality, plus some extras. Also, it borrows ideas

from git.git's integration scripts.
