Subject: Change in "git checkout" behaviour between 1.6.0.2 and 1.6.0.3
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:36:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <80wsf9ovsp.fsf@tiny.isode.net> (raw)
The following works fine with 1.6.0.2 and before, but not 1.6.0.3 or
later:
git clone -n git git-test
cd git-test
git checkout -b work v1.6.0.2
When it breaks, the error is:
error: Entry '.gitignore' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.
I'm guessing it's a bug rather than a deliberate change?
