git trac try "over-current-branch"?

[dimpase]

There are cases where you don't want git trac try doing self.git.fetch('trac', 'develop').
E.g. I need (sage's) #16440 to build docs, while the current 'develop' does not have it merged. Perhaps 'try' should get an option to specify that develop should not be used as the base.

If you need another fix to build the docs, say, then you can just "git merge docbuild-fix" after "git try ...". There is no need for an alternate UI for that.

well, this would potentially produce differently looking conflicts, as only conflictless merges commute . Logically, one would like to check whether the new ticket conflicts with the existing work branch, not the other way around.
