Build integration branches from labeled PR's in Github

git-integrate

This adds a new subcommand to git to build integration branches. It does this by doing a sequence of commands:

1. Fetch all updates from all remote repositories configured.
2. Create or reset the branch passed in using origin/master as the base.
3. Merge each branch that has a pull request that is labeled with the label passed to the command. This is done in the order in which the pull requests have been created from oldest to newest.

If you encounter a merge conflict; resolve it, then run git commit --no-edit, and finally re-run git integrate $LABEL $BRANCH again. When done merging everything the tool should be on the resulting branch ready to be pushed.

For easier and more reliable results enable git-rerere. This will help reduce the number of merge conflicts that have to be fixed.
