Won't be better to merge rather smaller increments? For example,
merging one commit (from dmd) at a time?

That way, the gdc will follow the dmd commit by commit, and not
only release by release. I hope this would bring easier merging,
as less code changes are required.

What do you think?

That's mid to long term goal  (we currently do the same with gcc development, for instance).  But not until have dropped the remainder dmd backend dependencies from the frontend.
