If you are not sure about the 'git merge' command, then type 'git help merge' instead. Just like if you are not sure about the 'git pull' command. If you type any of these two, a merge would happen, and you can revert it easily with 'git reset --hard HEAD^'. -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
