Ugh. That is what I missed. Thanks for explanation. The mismerge fixed by [PATCH 1/2] comes from my rerere database, and thanks to J6t's earlier "rerere forget" work, I managed to fix it in preparation for the eventual merge to 'master'. I queued the fix-up directly on 'next' as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
