ERROR: Merge conflict in include/asm-i386/bitops.h. ERROR: Merge conflict in kernel/sys.c. We don't have any nice graphical tools to show these to you like BitKeeper had, although it shouldn't be fundamentally hard. What you need to do is basically edit all those five files, and look for the conflicts (they are just like normal CVS conflicts: orig-branch conflict-contents === pulled-branch conflict-contents and then you edit them to your liking until you have no more conflicts, and then you have to commit your manual resolve with git commit --all which will commit the merge _and_ your manual conflict resolution. This is something where a nice wrapper layer could do a lot better. I know there are graphical three-way merge programs available. But core git is no worse (and in fact a _lot_ better) than CVS in this regard, so I feel that the git merge, while obviously not perfect or even very smart, is sufficient for what git is (ie it's up to porcelain to do anything better).

OK, but note that I didn't do any editing of any local files myself. Both commit ids are from your public linux kernel git tree. What I did was equivalent to: 1. rsync from rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ 2. waited a day or so. 3. git-pull-script from the same kernel.org repository. Is it expected that you end up with merge conflicts in this case? If that's the case, is there a better way to pull changes that doesn't involve having to resolve conflicts in files you didn't even know existed? I think it should be possible to just fast forward to the new HEAD in this situation. -- Peter Osterlund - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.telia.com/~u89404340 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Hmm.. Here's a tentative fix. I'm not really happy with it, and maybe somebody else can come up with a better one. I think this one ends up being quite a bit more expensive than the old one (it will look up _all_ common parents that have a child that isn't common, and then select the newest one of the bunch), but I haven't really thought it through very much. I bet there is a smarter way to do this, but this _should_ fix the problem Peter sees. Peter? Yes, it does fix the problem.

Yes, it does fix the problem. Thanks. Ok, Junio, can you apply the git-merge-base patch? It's not perfect, but it's clearly better than what's there right now. Add a Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds [EMAIL PROTECTED] and edit the description a bit, perhaps. OK. It's already sitting at the top of the pu branch, so I'll just advance master with your sign off added. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
