Hi!

Once more, I got annoyed either by git, or by my lacking git skills.

At #15820, the reviewer made some changes. There is a follow-up ticket
#16453, and I had to resolve conflicts for merging #15820 into #16453.

And then, there is a follow-follow-up ticket #17435. When merging #16453
into #17435, I was asked to resolve the same conflicts *again*, even
though I had solved them when merging #15820 into #16453.

So, given commits A,A',B,C depending like this
   ...--A--B--C
         \
          A'
how can one merge A' into B and C with least effort? At least in the
example above,
  git checkout B
  git merge A'
  git mergetool  # resolve conflicts
  git commit -a
  git checkout C
  git merge B
would result in resolving the same conflicts twice. Certainly there is a
better way!?!

Side complication: The result of merging A' into B has already been
published. Hence, the solution should better not change B's history.

Best regards,
Simon
