When merging changes into a dirty working copy, one may get .. Updating 62a005d..7bbd698 Makefile: needs update README: needs update config.mak.in: needs update configure.ac: needs update fatal: Entry 'Makefile' not uptodate. Cannot merge. .. This is bad error message; "uptodate" suggests that Makefile is too old. The problem is the reverse. The Makefile has been edited and hence it is 'newer'. This message should say Entry 'Makefile' is dirty.
