Re: Git beginner - Need help understanding

[chirin <takonatto@gmail.com>]

From what I understand, your scenario is exactly what I expect. Which is why
when I asked around my colleagues, no one was able to explain why I'm having
this issue.

As per your scenario:

    # A changes hello.txt

    # Going into B (who has not done anything to hello.txt)
    git pull --> merge conflict on hello.txt

    git commit
    git pull --> OK

Would going through Gerrit have anything to do with it? I've compared git
config -l with the others but they are the same (aside from
remote.origin.url which has our own gerrit userid).
