Subject: Tracking a branch using StGIT
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 13:50:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64de5c8b0609150120h3aeee6dcv976da13134396654@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am using StGIT to track a branch of a remote git repository
(actually a remote cvs repository, which I am tracking cvsimport)

The remote repository git branch show:
  Package-Reorg-2005
  RELENG_1
  avendor
* master
  origin

My local repository has:

root@beastie:# stg branch -l
Available branches:
> s     MyBranch            | clone of "RELENG_1"
        Package-Reorg-2005  |
  s     RELENG_1            |
        avendor             |
        master              |
        origin              |

The .git/remotes/origin is
URL: /usr/local/pfSense/upstream/pfSense/.git
Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin
Pull: refs/heads/avendor:refs/heads/avendor
Pull: refs/heads/Package-Reorg-2005:refs/heads/Package-Reorg-2005
Pull: refs/heads/RELENG_1:refs/heads/RELENG_1

My requirement is to track RELENG_1 branch with StGIT while
maintaining my own patches. but when I do a stg pull the messages are:

Popping all applied patches... done
Pulling from "origin"...
Trying really trivial in-index merge... fatal: Merge requires
file-level merging Nope. Merging HEAD with
c0a06b86b8431293214f5eb18e49fcb8117c6070 Merging:

&
c0a06b86b8431293214f5eb18e49fcb8117c6070 Execute after commands via sh &
found 1 common ancestor(s):
1b08ecedad1e6a7199f12d1fad97373587c85454 Minor nitpick.  <br> after
firmware branch select box
CONFLICT (add/add): File usr/local/www/status_filter_reload.php added
non-identically in both branches. Adding as
usr/local/www/status_filter_reload.php~HEAD and
usr/local/www/status_filter_reload.php~c0a06b86b8431293214f5eb18e49fcb8117c6070
instead.
<snip>

It seems StGIT is trying to merge the origin branch from remote to
RELENG_1 of local. Is there a way to get RELENG_1 of remote to merge
with MyBranch (clone of "RELENG_1") of local?
