Subject: Getting "Automatic merge failed" although all conflicts were resolved using previous resolution
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 14:39:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kke822$3ln$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
I just realized Git merge still outputs
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
although all of my conflicts were resolved using a previously recorded resolution. I think it's OK for Git to not just do the merge commit in that case to sort of force a review of the resolution, but still I think the message is misleading. It should probably rather say something like
All conflicts resolved using previous resolutions; please review and then commit the result.
Opinions?
