================
Comment at: llvm/docs/Proposals/GitHubMove.rst:927-930
+  # You could do `git merge final-monorepo/master`, but this will require
+  # updating your branch to HEAD.  Alternatively, we can figure out the merge
+  # base between my-branch and origin/master, translate that hash into
+  # final-monorepo, and merge with that.
----------------
Perhaps this comment should be rewritten into a bit less git-talk form.
For those who are not git-savvy it might be rather unclear that we intend to look
for the latest upstream commit that was already merged into our old monorepo.
Mostly - try to avoid using "merge base" term.

I'm bad at writing good English prose, so I wont be giving any wording suggestions :)
