If you've been working on a change for a while, rebase with upstream/master.
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git push origin my-feature-branch -f
It's likely that your change will not be merged and that the nitpicky maintainers will ask you to do more, or fix seemingly benign problems. Hang on there!
