Answer 1

You can do it like this:

In your repo,

git checkout -b new-branch

Then pull User A's commits into your new-branch:

git pull git://github.com/[User A]/[project-name].git

After that, you can change it whatever you like in the new-branch. And when you test and satisfy with your changes, you can merge it into your master branch:

git checkout master
git merge new-branch

OK, now you have your code with User A and your changes.
