[Demetz, Guenther]

Hi Steve,

thank you very much for the prompt answer, got it.

I just created 2 pull-requests for branch 4.2, maybe next week's someone of you developers can take a look into... 

https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/501  testcase and patch proposal for HHH-8154
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/504  testcase and patch proposal for HHH-4294

best regards
Guenther

Create a remote in the clone of your fork that refers to the upstream Hibernate repo:

* git remote add upstream git://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm.git

fetch the 4.2 branch into your clone:

* git fetch upstream 4.2:4.2

You can choose to push this to your fork or not.  If so (assuming you left that remote named "origin"):

* git push origin 4.2:4.2

Do your work...
