[TYPO3-core] how to contribute to "version", "workspaces", "extbase", "fluid", "dbal" and "linkvalidator"?

[Roland]

thanks philipp!

i have problem:

after i pushed my commits to "linkvalidator" and "dba" i thought i would
have to switch back from my 2 issue branches to something else. i decided
to do a "checkout master" in "dba" and "linkvalidator" folder. everything
seemed to be alright.

today, after my commits were merged and i did the obligatory "git fetch
--all", i realised some problem:

a "git status" indicates that there are changes in "dba" and
"linkvalidator".

after that i went to these 2 folders and did a "git checkout TYPO3_4-7-1" -
now a git checkout indicates a clear repository, but "TYPO3_4-7-1" was only
a guess...

what would be the right and safe way to handle this?

kind regards.

roland
