[neomutt-devel] Rebasing the branches

[Richard Russon]

Following on from my crazy branching diagrams

I've created a script to help automate the process of merging upstream
commits: misc-bin/merge-upstream.sh

    https://github.com/neomutt/management

It's pretty rough, it doesn't do much checking, but surprising it works
quite well.

In a neomutt repo with branches master and a mutt/default branch, give
it the first and last commits to transfer:

    merge-upstream.sh FIRST-HASH [LAST-HASH]

It will create all the side branches, then create all the diffs.
Then it will start applying the diffs, allowing you to check each one.
It will use the original commit metadata.

I'll make it more robust each time I use it.
