Subject: [PATCH] subtree merge strategy fails if branch.master.rebase=true
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:47:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248644865-1998-1-git-send-email-jason.k.holden@gmail.com> (raw)

Update documentation so that users pass --no-rebase to the git-pull
command when using the subtree merge strategy.  Without it, if a user
has specified in their config file that branch.master.rebase=true,
the pull will fail with the following error:

>From /disk2/git_projects/git/Bproject
 * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Could not parse object 'c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^'
Unknown exit code (128) from command: git-merge-subtree c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^ -- HEAD c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0

The hash value referenced above is the first commit made to the main
repository (not the Bproject subtree).
