# make sure a local branch exists:
git chekcout -tb x-updates origin/updates
# checkout the branch you want to depend on:
git checkout x-updates

tg create topic/cinnanmon-desktop
# write the topic contents (what you want to do into .topmsg)

Keeping up to date:
1) update local branch
git checkout x-updates && git pull
2) update your topgit branch
git checkout topic/cinnanmon-desktop
tg update
(follow instructions)

How to Export, thus feed upstream?
to export topic/cinnanmon-desktop
