.. note::

- also make it explicit: merge the changes but revert them before committing::
+ If the patch should *not* be ported from Python 3.3 to Python 3.4, you must
+ also make this explicit by doing a *null merge*: merge the changes but
+ revert them before committing::
hg update default
hg merge 3.3
hg revert -ar default
+ hg resolve -am # needed only if the merge created conflicts
hg commit
This is necessary so that the merge gets recorded; otherwise, somebody
else will have to make a decision about your patch when they try to merge.
+ (Using a three-way merge tool generally makes the ``hg resolve`` step
+ in the above unnecessary; also see `this bug report
+ <http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2706>`__.)
When you have finished your porting work (you can port several patches one
after another in your local repository), you can push **all** outstanding
