When you have resolved this problem run "git rebase --continue". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git rebase --skip". To restore the original branch and stop rebasing run "git rebase --abort". The ChangeLog file doesn't have any conflict markers in it; in fact it seems to be the version from master. $ cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "origin"] url = ssh://j...@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/findutils.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [format] headers = "To: findutils-patc...@gnu.org\n" [branch "rel-4-4-fixes"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/rel-4-4-fixes [branch "rel-4-3-fixes"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/rel-4-3-fixes [branch "rel-4-2-fixes"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/rel-4-2-fixes [merge "cl-merge"] name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver driver = /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog $ cat .gitattributes ChangeLog merge=cl-merge $ /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog --version /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
