[git] Post svn conversion merge point instructions moved
The post svn conversion merge point instructions have been moved to a separate page. See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/PostCvtMergePoint A set of preparatory steps suggested by Peter Dimov have been added. I'm unsure how Peter's prep steps interact with the actual merge point instructions. Particularly, what SHA is used for the merge point? Please take a look, and then suggest corrections or clarifications. Thanks, --Beman

None. After master and develop are brought in sync using cherry-pick and/or revert as necessary, one just does git merge --no-ff develop from master, and git merge --no-ff master from develop. One of these two merges may be redundant. I did both, just to be on the safe side. The important thing is that there is no "-s ours" option, which is (if my understanding is correct) generally the source of any subsequent problems.

Peter, could you please update https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/PostCvtMergePoint accordingly? That's probably much easier than trying to educate me enough so I can make the changes:-) Thanks, --Beman
