rebase, file permissions and removed file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
