The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
H: preserves hard-links
A: preserves ACLs

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

	# Installs a bunch of plugins for the docker-redmine image
	#
	# Usage:
	# $ mkdir -p /opt/redmine/data/plugins

	## within current branch, squashes all commits that are ahead of master down into one
	## useful if you merged with upstream in the middle of your commits (rebase could get very ugly if this is the case)

	## commit any working changes on branch "mybranchname", then...
	git checkout master
	git checkout -b mybranchname_temp
	git merge --squash mybranchname
	git commit -am "Message describing all squashed commits"
	git branch -m mybranchname mybranchname_unsquashed
	git branch -m mybranchname
