I'm probably old school (or maybe wacky school --- who knows :-), but
what I usually do is something like this:
git branch -a --contains HEAD # make sure the HEAD pointer is
git tag --contains HEAD # include where I think it should be
git reset --hard v3.9-rc2
Yeah, it's more key strokes than "git merge --ff-only v3.9-rc2", but I
can type the above faster because they're finger macros for me. :-)
