You know what happens? Do you think I don't? You can check who invented 3way by running "git log" or "git blame" on git-am.sh ;-) I think you misread my "That is what -3way is all about". That remark is about the comment you have about "creates conflict markers". The conflict markers is only possible because we do 3-way merge when you ran "am -3". If you do not have the base object but only a blob and an unapplicable patch, you cannot do "here is our change since common ancestor, and here is their change the patch wants to make" conflict markers, because you do not have the common ancestor. > Yes, the patch is completly rejected, because apply is atomic. > And I think a git-apply option that results in a non-atomic behavior, > that creates conflict markers (and no .rej files), would be a great > usability feature for the "patch" insn in sequencer. Yes, I think I already said in the message you are responding to that it may make sense to have such an option (but at the same time we should remember that nobody asked to add --reject to "git am"). -- 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
