DESCRIPTION
"git merge topic" will replay the changes made on the topic branch
There is no mentioning of branches in synopsys, it lists [<commit>…]
but all examples show merge
with branches.
- Is it incorrect help output or am I missing something?
- Can you merge a specific commit? (looks like have been asked in 2009: How to merge a specific commit in Git - is it up-todate ?)
