Because the portable "tmux-code" git repository and the "tmux-openbsd" repository do
not inherently share any history between each other, the history has been
faked between them. This "faking of history" is something which has to be
told to git for the purposes of comparing the "tmux" and "tmux-openbsd"
repositories for syncing. To do this, we must reference the clone of the
"tmux-openbsd" repository from the "tmux" repository, as shown by the
"tmux-openbsd" repository from the "tmux-code" repository, as shown by the
following command:
% cd /path/to/tmux
% cd /path/to/tmux-code
% git remote add obsd-tmux file:///path/to/tmux-openbsd
So that now, the remote "obsd-tmux" can be used to reference branches and
commits from the "tmux-openbsd" repository, but from the context of the
portable "tmux" repository, which makes sense because it's the "tmux"
portable "tmux-code" repository, which makes sense because it's the "tmux"
repository which will have the updates applied to them.
Fetching updates

"tmux", we have to ensure the "master" branch from "tmux-openbsd" is
up-to-date first, and then reference that update in "tmux", as in:
