Personally speaking, I'd install a copy of Jenkins and get it running 
a fully battery of unit tests for all your targets, so Python 2.x and 
Python 3.x on clang, GCC and MSVC.

I'd then write a script which pulls individual commits from master 
into develop (or the other way round), testing each in turn, stopping 
when a merge fails and emailing you.

You then keep at it laboriously until it's merged. With a bit of 
luck, most of the commits in master are also in develop, and it's 
just that git doesn't realise.
