I take it this is the preferred way, right?

I also take it that we are supposed to merge to master in the stage
repo? I mean, from reading the "Finishing a Topic" section:

----
After development of the topic has been finished and it is considered stable.

Merge it to master:

    $ ssh git at public.kitware.com stage repo merge -b master topic-name
    Fetching upstream master
    Merge branch topic-name
    Pushing upstream master
    To ../../repo.git
    Deleting fully merged topic topic-name (27c71e8) from stage.

Or is this something you guys handle?
