None. After master and develop are brought in sync using cherry-pick and/or 
revert as necessary, one just does

    git merge --no-ff develop

from master, and

    git merge --no-ff master

from develop.

One of these two merges may be redundant. I did both, just to be on the safe 
side. The important thing is that there is no "-s ours" option, which is (if 
my understanding is correct) generally the source of any subsequent 
problems.
