Subject: Re: git 1.4.0 usability problem
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 04:36:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4497B39E.2050205@garzik.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7v4pyhdel5.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

Here's a real world example of the 1.4.0 change breaking a merge:

("netdev-2.6" == local clone of kernel.org/...jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git)
[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ git branch
   ALL
   e100-sbit
* master
   upstream
   upstream-linus

[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ git pull /spare/repo/linux-2.6

25f42b6af09e34c3f92107b36b5aa6edc2fdba2f
fatal: Untracked working tree file 'drivers/net/myri10ge/Makefile' would 
be overwritten by merge.

EXPLANATION:

* drivers/net/myri10ge/Makefile exists in latest Linus kernel tree, 
stored locally in /spare/repo/linux-2.6.
* drivers/net/myri10ge/Makefile exists in netdev-2.6#upstream and 
netdev-2.6#upstream-linus branches.
* drivers/net/myri10ge/Makefile does not exist in current branch, 
netdev-2.6#master.
