-= Merge process in Qt =
-During the development cycle merges are done from the release to stable and stable to dev branches.
-See for example http://wiki.qt.io/Branch-Guidelines .
-The merge in the other direction happens in coordination with the release team.
-= Merge instructions =
-There are several ways to go about the merges, for individual merges of one repository use the normal git merge command.
-<code>
-git fetch
-git checkout -B dev origin/dev
-git merge origin/stable
-git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/dev
-</code>
-Note that you need special permissions to push merges and gerrit will refuse your push otherwise.
-Since it's not feasible to do so many commands manually for each repository, there is a script in qtrepotools/bin.
-Make sure to have python and qtrepotools/bin in your path.
-<code>
-cd qt5 # this command needs a full checkout of qt5.git and all submodules
-git qt-merge-mainlines -s -f stable -t dev
-</code>
-Shows the status. Pass it -d to do the merges. -f is the source branch and -t is the branch that the merge ends up in.
