Hm, it should really force that via 'git add -f' or such. The merge markers are _very_ infrequent as naturally occuring source code lines even on a per line basis - and especially the combination of them should be exceedingly unique. I frequently use: git add $(git ls-files -m) ... to stage edits without comitting them, probably that workflow is what caused this bug. Thanks, Ingo
