I have three branches: master, prerelease, and devel.
Suppose now we are in master.
I often run the following command (in fact it is an alias, to save
typing):
git push && git checkout prerelease && git merge master && git push &&
git checkout devel && git merge prerelease && git push && git checkout
master
There is a small problem: After running this command my text editor
proposes me to reload changed files.
So, it seems that the above command marks some files as changed. It is
wrong, because it is inconvenient a little to reload a file or two
every time after I submit the changes.
Its more of intentional behavior than a bug. When you merge branches, the
timestamp of the files involved are updated to reflect the merge.
Your text editor seems to have picked up this change in the file's
timestamp as
changes made to the content of the file.
Victor,
There is also a patch series in discussion [1] about doing these conflict
free (hopefully) merges without the use of the worktree. This would allow
you workflow to be re-coded so that the checkout dance never occurs and
master is undisturbed, removing the editor's change logic from the problem.
