The biggest problem I have is that before MariaDB, I have no prior experience using git.  There is also no one here in Menlo Park who is a git expert.

You'll need to squash your commits (both for this bug and the changes
for MDEV-10355) and rebase on top of 10.2 anyway.

Why not do it now? When you push the rebased bugfix back into your
bb-10.2-<bug number> branch you'll have 10.2 as a baseline.
