# A dirt-simple script to merge a pull request from someone on github.
# Andre Lewis, 2009
#
# Assumptions:
# 1. you're currently working on master
# 2. you've already reviewed the pull request and have decided to include it.
#
# usage: 
#  mergefrom git://github.com/foo/bar.git 
#
# or, optionally, to merge a specific commit:
#
#  mergefrom git://github.com/foo/bar.git 25fe7ea
#
#
# What it does:
# 1. adds the remote repo
# 2. checks out the remote repo as a local branch 
# 3. pulls from the remote master or specific commit you provided
# 4. switches back to master
# 5. (with your confirmation) merges the just-checked out branch
# 6. (with your confirmation) deletes your just-checked out branch
