With git, you can rewind time and find a different point to branch off your second branch.

I imagine you have some structure like this:

   sysiphus/master   perl/blead
   |                 |
   ... patches       ... other patches
   |                 |
   |                 /
   +----------------/    <- here is where you branched off your change
+s, for example SHA 12abcd
   |

The easiest way is to then check out the point where you diverged from blead</>, create a new branch and apply your changes to <c>win32/makefile.mk there:

git checkout 12abcd
# check that we can build at this stage, make sure that you have all y
+our changes out of tree, just in case:
git clean -dfX && cd win32 && gmake test
# Create the new branch here, and check it out
git branch makefile-update
git checkout makefile-update

... apply your changes

# check that tests still pass
git clean -dfX && cd win32 && gmake test


git commit -m "voila"
git push github
