[git-users] Re: git reports conflicts for files not mutually changed
Hi Philip! Thanks for the response. You are talking about different files: the file with (2+-) changes is "OutOfTimerCrossValidator.java" and the file in conflict is "OutOfTimeCrossValidator*Runner*.java". I found this on the documentation (https://git-scm.com/docs/merge-strategies), perhaps this is the case: > > *With the strategies that use 3-way merge (including the default, > recursive), if a change is made on both branches, but later reverted on one > of the branches, that change will be present in the merged result; some > people find this behavior confusing.

[git-users] git reports conflicts for files not mutually changed
Dears, I am facing situations in which only one of the developers/branches changes a specific file, but git merge reports a merge conflict for that file. So, why is git reporting conflict for files not mutually changed? In the example below, the file "OutOfTimeCrossValidatorRunner.java" (underlined in red) is changed by only one of the parents of a merge commit, but git merge still reports a conflict for that file as you can see in the bottom of the image. As further observation, I printed the temporary files used/passed to git merge, and I noted that they are different from the files present in the commits. Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Re: [git-users] Overriding the "git merge" command
Nice. Many thanks. I'll give it a try and inform here..

[git-users] Overriding the "git merge" command
Hello, I am a PhD candidate researching about merge tools and doing experiments with git and github. I know that when the *git merge* command fails in presence of conflicts, it is possible to invoke external merge tools through the command* git mergetool* to resolve conflicts. I was wondering if is that possible to set the *git merge* command to call the external merge tool directly, in any situation, not only when there are conflicts. More specifically, as far as I know, the workflow is: 1. call "git merge" 2. if there is conflict, call "git mergetool" to invoke an external merge tool What I want is: 1. call "git merge" to invoke an external merge tool Is that possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
