All, I have two branches that are slightly different and most changes "belong" in both. There are a handful of files/directories that are disparate. Is there any way in git to tell it not to merge these files? Kind of like .gitignore but for merges. In addition I'd like a way to specify to git-merge to leave all merged files unrecorded in the index. Then as I go through each file making sure that the merge "makes sense" (not that git did the right thing; but that I want the changes in both branches) that I add the change to the index. I'm sure that I'm probably using git "incorrectly" and I welcome suggestions for modifying my workflow to a git style. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated, Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
