Hi Daniel, 

depends on the application. If I always rebase my branch, I will never be able 
to properly publish it, because it has a constantly changing history!

(Each of "my" commits will be rewritten by the rebase whenever a fresh commit 
from Denis comes along...)

So for me I'd prefer merging Denis' commits into my branch... However, I see 
the point that the rebasing makes sure the local patches always apply cleanly 
to Denis' HEAD.

Cheers, 
Andreas

# switch to master
git checkout master

# pull Denis' branch from sourceforge
git pull

# switch to Gentoo branch
git checkout gentoo

# merge in Denis' new commits
git merge master

# (with appropriate setup) push both branches to gitorious
git push
