No, I mean that this would commit both to the testing branch (being the
result of several merged topic-branches) and to the topic-branch merged
in. Commit as in regular commit, with a commit-message and a patch. The
resulting repository would be the exact same as if the change was
committed only to the topic-branch and then cherry-picked on to the
testing-branch.
