Workflows for long-running feature branches

These examples were created during a discussion with j416 on #github about how best to manage long-running feature branches.

The scenario is this: You have a long-running feature branch, based off master. The feature branch and master both touch the same parts of the same files, so you know that there will be conflicts when you finally merge the feature branch in. What can you do to minimise the conflicts?

import argpase
import fileinput

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--dummy', help='dummy argument')
    parser.add_argument('files', metavar='FILE', nargs='*', help='files to read, if empty, stdin is used')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # If you would call fileinput.input() without files it would try to process all arguments.
