:)

There are about 30 conflicted files, so indeed it's going to be at least a little painful. :)  That's why I want to be sure I do the git stuff right, as I don't want to have to manually unconflict dozens of files twice.

It's pointing to this currently:

upstream_git_url='http://git.code.sf.net/p/gdcm/gdcm.git'
upstream_git_branch='release'

That correct?
