to split one big commit into several. Don't be afraid of making too
small or imperfect steps along the way. You can always go back later
and edit the commits with `git rebase --interactive` before you

test suite independent of other uncommitted changes; see the EXAMPLES
section of linkgit:git-stash[1].
There is a fourth official branch that is used slightly differently:
-* 'pu' (proposed updates) is an integration branch for things that are
- not quite ready for inclusion yet (see "Integration Branches"
- below).
+* 'seen' (patches seen by the maintainer) is an integration branch for
+ things that are not quite ready for inclusion yet (see "Integration
+ Branches" below).
Each of the four branches is usually a direct descendant of the one
above it.
Conceptually, the feature enters at an unstable branch (usually 'next'
-or 'pu'), and "graduates" to 'master' for the next release once it is

considered stable enough.

right after the testing, you can even publish this branch, for example
to give the testers a chance to work with it, or other developers a
chance to see if their in-progress work will be compatible. `git.git`

+You need to push the new tag to a public Git server (see
"DISTRIBUTED WORKFLOWS" below). This makes the tag available to
others tracking your project. The push could also trigger a
post-update hook to perform release-related items such as building
described in the previous section.

After a feature release, the integration branch 'next' may optionally be
rewound and rebuilt from the tip of 'master' using the surviving

If you do this, then you should make a public announcement indicating
that 'next' was rewound and rebuilt.

do the merge and resolve the conflicts themselves (perhaps they will
know better how to resolve them). It is one of the rare cases where
downstream 'should' merge from upstream.
