I've not really worked out git's model yet in my mind.... sometimes
I've had merge messages, sometimes not. In general the sequence I try to
use is:
Work in branch foo. Commit.
Flip to master, pull.
Flip to foo, rebase, re-test.
Flip to master, pull. If new-stuff, go back one.
Merge foo (to master), push.

No doubt this is overkill, or wacky, or just plain wrong....
