Actually, the branches *can't* be identical, in practically every
nontrivial case, because (if nothing else) the %changelog will diverge.
If you're copying log entries into a branch where those changes did not
actually happen, you are not doing the right thing.
From the view of git, the %changelog is just another bunch of data --
and doing that is called a "rebase", I believe.
As Matt said, this sort of difference shouldn't hurt the ability
to
merge or cherrypick diffs from one branch to another.
I stand corrected.
