I'm writing about merging and rebasing with conflicts, and there's something weird with it -- after this setup: mkdir /tmp/r1; cd /tmp/r1; git init echo foo > file; git add file; git commit -m first cd /tmp; git clone r1 r2 cd /tmp/r1; echo abc > file; git commit -m abc file cd /tmp/r2; echo xyz > file; git commit -m xyz file git fetch 1. I get this: $ git merge origin ...CONFLICT... $ git status -s UU file $ echo xyz > file $ git add file $ git status -s and there's nothing -- it's all clean after that `add', without committing and without anything said. If this is intentional, it would be nice if there was some message from `git add'... And it would also be nice if I'd seen it mentioned anywhere, but practically everything I've read said the same: `git add' and then `git commit', no mention of that second step being optional. 2. I have some other sample repository that exhibits the behavior with the "resolution" going the other way, but here -- starting from the same setup: $ git merge origin ...CONFLICT... $ echo abc > file $ git add file $ git status -s M file $ git commit ...get an editor without the conflict resolution template thing... $ git log --graph --all --oneline * 2d3744b Huh? * 98c46da xyz | * 4744b19 abc |/ * c8915c2 first This looks like I never did any merge. $ git merge origin Merge made by recursive. $ git log --graph --all --oneline * 94e69e9 Merge remote branch 'origin' |\ | * 4744b19 abc * | 2d3744b Huh? * | 98c46da xyz |/ * c8915c2 first And this looks even more wrong... 3. Again, starting from the same setup: $ git rebase origin ...CONFLICT... $ git status -s UU file $ echo abc > file $ git add file $ git status -s <- nothing $ git rebase --continue Applying: xyz No changes - did you forget to use 'git add'? which is probably related to the above. I could use --skip, but now that I edited it manually I can't remember that --skip does what I already did. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! -- 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
