As a potential refinement, this might be simpler if we define a branch that points to this commit.
we could do that, though the merge base changes to the last commit that was merged in that way. The old merge base is still valid but much older. I applied this method to some of my bugfixes so the current merge base of master and 1.9 is a commit from yesterday not anymore the diverging point of master and 1.9. But I don't know if the newer merge base makes any difference to git.
