Another merge commit: http://github.com/numpy/numpy/commit/427d3fcabe5 > For single commits, merge back into master (hopefully this should be a > fast-forward merge), which then creates an svn-like timeline. Actually I think that the "push local branch to github master" approach that Charles referred to above is better. Because that will fail if the merge is not fast-forward, so you never get merge commits if you don't want them. The "merge into local master" way will give you a merge (which is why you said "hopefully" above) if you forgot to rebase your feature branch first.
