Github user markhamstra commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/288#issuecomment-39490098 Really, there should be no need for that. Just do a 'pull --rebase' in your branch and everything that is not already part of master will be moved to after master. Then 'push -f' or 'push +refSpec' and your PR should be in good shape.
