unCLog

Just a note about an git-experience I had in case it helps someone else…

• I was doing a git pull and got a conflict (in the ChangeLog of all places).

• I fixed the conflict and then tried to commit the fix. Git was mad:

  [gwking@beeter foo]$ git commit -m "fix changelog conflict"                                         
  ChangeLog: needs merge                                                                                
  ChangeLog: unmerged (9325d97bb00d84025506d7bb7a78ba5e245b0275)                                        
  ChangeLog: unmerged (63f7f2ba434dbdb4d98a0c9766ef22a40ece0abd)                                        
  ChangeLog: unmerged (4bba972e7d78619d3a5448357ed8773afd1edece)                                        
  error: Error building trees                                                                           
  

  Hmmm, what does that mean. Some googling revealed nothing useful and Wolfram Alpha wasn’t sure what to do with your input..

  I ended up flailing for a while before I remembered that I needed to git add the change before I committed.

  [gwking@beeter foo]$ git add ChangeLog                                                              
  

• After that, git was happy again

  [gwking@beeter foo]$ git commit -m "fix changelog conflict"                                         
  [master]: created 1d6cba4: "fix changelog conflict"                                                   
  

Problem solved.
