>From what I understand, your scenario is exactly what I expect. Which is why when I asked around my colleagues, no one was able to explain why I'm having this issue. As per your scenario: # A changes hello.txt # Going into B (who has not done anything to hello.txt) git pull --> merge conflict on hello.txt git commit git pull --> OK Would going through Gerrit have anything to do with it? I've compared git config -l with the others but they are the same (aside from remote.origin.url which has our own gerrit userid).
