You have used the word 'behind'. I think 'time' what is making me fail to understand git merging. It depends on which branch I have changed last. Not only if I changed the same line in both branches. If I change (same line) the master, commit. Change testing commit. Merge testing into master, they will not conflict because master haven't changed since testing changed. Master is "behind" testing. -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Really-beginner-on-Version-Control-tp5555023p5558696.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
