An earlier commit a9cb3c6e changed git-commit to use the contents of MERGE_MSG even when we do not have MERGE_HEAD (the rationale is in its log message). However, the change tricks the following sequence to include a merge message in a completely unrelated commit: $ git pull somewhere : oops, the conflicts are too much. forget it. $ git reset --hard : work work work $ git commit To fix this confusion, this patch makes "git reset" to remove the leftover MERGE_MSG that was prepared when the user abandoned the merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> --- * Marked as RFC because I suspect I am missing a valid use case where a user might want to say "reset" as part of continuing the conflicted merge resolution, although I do not think of any offhand... git-reset.sh | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-reset.sh b/git-reset.sh index 3133b5b..c0feb44 100755 --- a/git-reset.sh +++ b/git-reset.sh @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ case "$reset_type" in ;; esac -rm -f "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD" "$GIT_DIR/rr-cache/MERGE_RR" "$GIT_DIR/SQUASH_MSG" +rm -f "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD" "$GIT_DIR/rr-cache/MERGE_RR" \ + "$GIT_DIR/SQUASH_MSG" "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG" exit $update_ref_status - 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
