Sadly that's easier said than done, since it just introduces further conflicts as jk/difftool-dir-diff-edit-fix doesn't include da/difftool-fixes (now in master). So I think the best thing may be to: 1) take only the middle patch from jk/t7800-modernize for now (which fixes a test failure on Windows and shouldn't conflict with anything else) and discard the other two patches there, to be re-sent after other topics in flight graduate 2) add the "don't overwrite modified working tree files" patch built on top of jk/difftool-dir-diff-edit-fix (presumably as a new topic) -- 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
