mergetopus is a tool that helps teams follow a structured workflow for very large merges by splitting one risky merge into parallelizable tasks:
* one integration branch for trivial/non-conflicting merge results
* optional slice branches for selected conflicted files
* original annotate/blame information is retained
I have long wanted a tool to help split large diffs into smaller semantic changes. When you're working on a feature, for example, and end up refactoring along the way, you may wish to have your refactor reviewed and merged without any new functionality.

Doesn't this mean the integration branch will be missing key updates, thus it's expected to be broken?
