Thanks. I think merge-base, even though we attempted to fix it recently, is still confused and that is one of the reasons why you are getting this. prompt$ git-rev-parse origin test-lenb-merge 81065e2f415af6c028eac13f481fb9e60a0b487b 702c7e7626deeabb057b6f529167b65ec2eefbdb prompt$ git-merge-base origin test-lenb-merge 30e332f3307e9f7718490a706e5ce99f0d3a7b26 prompt$ git show-branch origin test-lenb-merge !

And that commit, 3edea48... is different from what merge-base is reporting. If I maually run merge-cache using origin~34 as the merge base, only the following two files needs to result in non-simple merge: Documentation/acpi-hotkey.txt drivers/acpi/osl.c Do these two files match your expectation? I'll take a look at merge-base.c next, but just in case I CC:ed this to Linus, who is more familiar with that code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
