the Java program just calls out to the python script so those are one in the 
same.    The java program also has a "Record" option for the git case that 
will record that a merge was made without actually attempting the merge.   
Colm does this to me all the time in CXF.   He uses git to cherry-pick merges.  
 
I just need to keep an eye on what he does and when I run DoMerges, I just 
"[R]ecord" his changes instead of merging them.

I agree with Hadrians response.  Nothing really to add.

Time.  Any help appreciated.  :-)
