git am just failed because the index is not matching. So I'll not push my core-updates.
Next, I tried git merge origin/master which gave me a number of merge conflicts. One of those is gnu/local.mk: + %D%/packages/patches/gettext-multi-core.patch \ + %D%/packages/patches/gettext-gnulib-multi-core.patch \ These referred files haven't been merged into core-updates by my action above. Why?
