Hmm, there seems to be some glitches around running "am -3" after a failed "am" between 'maint' and 'master'. When I try the following sequence, the 'am' from 'maint' succeeds, but 'am' in 'master' fails: * Save Eric's "minor documetation improvements" $gmane/274537 to a file. * "git checkout e177995" (that's "next^0") and then apply them with "git am" (no -3 necessary). * "git checkout 272be14" (that's "es/worktree-add-cleanup^0") and then apply them with "git am" (without -3). This is expected to stop at 2/6, as the context has changed between 272be14 and the tip of 'next'. * "git am -3". This should restart and resolve cleanly. Reverting d96a275b91bae1800cd43be0651e886e7e042a17 seems to fix it, so that is what I'll do for 2.5 final. I think Paul's builtin-am has the same issues, that would need a separate fix. commit d96a275b91bae1800cd43be0651e886e7e042a17 Author: Remi Lespinet <remi.lespinet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 4 17:04:55 2015 +0200 git-am: add am.threeWay config variable Add the am.threeWay configuration variable to use the -3 or --3way option of git am by default. When am.threeway is set and not desired for a specific git am command, the --no-3way option can be used to override it. -- 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
