In short, - a branch is created - a file is removed from master - the same file has its permissions changed on the branch - we rebase the branch on master - how to resolve the conflict? Following is a script to reproduce the problem, see comment at the end. Any idea? Thanks. << -- #!/bin/sh rm -fr repo mkdir repo cd repo git init touch file1 file2 chmod a+x file* git add . git ci -m "First rev" git checkout -b fixperms chmod a-x file1 git add file1 git ci -m "Fix perm file1" git checkout master git rm file1 git ci -m "Remove file1" git checkout fixperms git rebase master # At this point there is a conflict as expected # file1 has been removed on master, and file1 had its permissions changed # on fixperms branch. # # What I find confusing is that: # $ git diff # and # $ git diff --cached # # are reporting nothing. # # Ok, file1 has been removed, let's then remove it as it is right: # # $ git rm file1 # fatal: pathspec 'file1' did not match any files # # Ok, so what's the proper way to fix that! What should I do to be able to # continue the rebase: # # $ git rebase --continue >> -- --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://www.obry.net --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination" --| --| gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key C1082595 -- 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
