Hello there, I wrote a small script as well that automates testing this use case as well, but I don't really know what the policy is on attachments in git, seeing as how it's my first time contributing to git. I am on git version 2.33.1 on Fedora 35, but I am not seeing the bug while running the script. So, I grabbed the git source code and built it. This version is 2.34.0.rc2.9.g4d53e91c6b, not quite your version but I tried to go back to the commit you mentioned and build it, but I faced some errors and no binary would build. Anyway, the version I built and tested also did not permit auto merge and required me to manually make changes as well, so the issue seems to have been fixed. You can take a look at my script as well, I followed your instructions as best I could and built this: #!/bin/bash git --version mkdir sample cd sample git init echo -e "a\nb\nc\n" > test git add . git commit -m "abc" git branch b1 git switch b1 echo -e "b\na\nc" > test git add . git commit -m "bac" git switch main git branch b2 git switch b2 echo -e "b\nc\na" > test git add . git commit -m "bca" git switch main git merge b1 git merge b2 git log --graph --oneline --all Cheers, Saksham Mittal
