If you've thought up something specific, please add it to that wiki guide. 
Branching sounds almost like an excuse, you can do everything with 
branching. ;)

It can be easily done with:
git-cat-file blob devel:gnu/gcc/DETAILS > gnu/gcc/DETAILS
where devel is the other branch, but this doesn't preserve commits etc., just 
copies the blob over. Good for resyncing devel from test, but otherwise I 
doubt this is the wanted behaviour of a "file integration".
