hi kalin

 could point me where i can get information that allows me to do the
following
 a) we start a customization of open_source project from version 5548
b) the open_source project has moved to 5570
c) we in the mean while have applied some chages to the version of 5548

how to go about doing a merge that brings our baseline up from 5548 -
5570 while maintaining the customization that we have done ?
