I am not on the mailing list so please CC me. I am running git 1.8.1 on
Fedora 18.
I aam having what appears to be a problem. Here is the sequence which
generally describes what I did and what happened:
git checkout -b test1 master
git am 0001-simple-1.patch
git checkout -b test2 master
git am 0001-simple-2.patch ### this is known to conflict
with 0001-simple-1.patch
git checkout test1
git merge test2
[here git-merge detects a conflict]
git mergetool ###to resolve the conflict
[conflict resolved]
git commit -a -s
git log
[shows two commits -- one for simple-2 and one for the merge]
git format-patch master..HEAD
[two patch files created: 0001-simple-1.patch and 0002-simple-2.patch]
[0002-simple-2.patch and 0001-simple-2.patch are exactly equal and do
not reflect the resolved conflict]
If you do git-diff between <commit-patch-1> and HEAD, you get something
different that you got from format-patch.
1. Bug ... format-patch is broken
2. Feature ... that is the way it works
3. Pilot error ... ??
I can create a good version of patch-2 manually but should I have to?
Color me foolish but I assumed I could do git-format-patch in one branch
and then use git-am to recreate that branch elsewhere.
