Git: Rescuing changes that have been merged over

So we ran into a little bit of bother with some pull requests to GiveCRM: I had submitted a feature that had been merged in, but it was subsequently lost (in part) when a later pull request was merged in. It seems the submitter of the later pull request hadn't updated from the central repository before submitting his pull request, so when his pull request was merged my feature was overwritten.

My experience with Git is almost entirely as an individual developer, so I'm learning how to use it in a distributed team as we go with GiveCRM. I turned to my friend, colleague and resident Git expert Adam Wood for some advice.
