In general, these kinds of merge needs to be done carefully. I.e. the
case where you wanted an edit from branch X, and commited your own
hand-edited version.

Conflicts are likely to happen, and they require to be resolved. Log
is messed to make tracking difficult.

git-cherry-pick is better, if commits are not many. If there ARE many,
I don't know what should be done.

Probably the right way from the beginning was to cherry-pick and
commit your own edit later, rather than manually edit the remote
commit.
