As I pointed out in a previous email, I'm referring to the --abort section of git-merge(1): "If there were uncommitted worktree changes present when the merge started, git merge --abort will in some cases be unable to reconstruct these changes. It is therefore recommended to always commit or stash your changes before running git merge." Matthieu (and probably others) run git merge with a dirty worktree most of the time, while I never do (because I read this section). -- 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
