Background:
I want to use git to track the delivery of patch files into existing
file trees. This means that new files will need to be copied over
existing files (especially in the case of binary files or textual conflicts)
To this end I want to use a custom merge driver (actually the cp command)
Setup:
I have set up my ..git/info/gitattributes as follows
* merge=overwrite
I have defined in .git/config
[merge "overwrite"]
name = overwrite using cp
driver = cp %B %A
Problem:
However when I perform a git merge the default merge is being called. Is
there something else needed to make git perform the copy operation?
Many thanks
