This keeps coming up every week or so... maybe git-merge should attempt to refresh the index automatically? Of course it's an expensive operation, but if you really want to do the merge you have to bite that bullet anyway. Unfortunately I can't see an obvious place to do that---the above message comes from unpack-trees.c, where changes would also affect e.g. checkout. On the other hand, as near as I can tell this is a regression in builtin-merge. Miklos, do you know if/how this can be fixed? - Thomas -- Thomas Rast trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
