This means that all your pending Merge Requests conflict like crazy and hard kind of hard to rebase.
Here what i did with mr/207 that seems to have worked relatively well. # make sure the code is uptodate (assuming origin is the upstream repo) git fetch origin # checkout the branch. i'm using git mr, but you use whatever you normally do to get the branch git mr 207 # now rebase it on origin/master telling it, we want to keep our changes when conflicts git rebase -i origin/master -Xours # now on the editor page that opened use *edit* instead of *pick* for all the commits # now for every commit run clang-format on the files you have changed in that commit clang-format -i file1 file2 file3 # add the clang-format changes to your commit git commit -a --amend # continue the rebase git rebase --continue # repeat the last 3 steps for every commit you have in your Merge Request. # check the commits look good # now push the new "code" to your existing branch git push REMOTE LOCAL_BRANCH_NAME:REMOVE_BRANCH_NAME --force Hopefully this should be all. Please ask if you get stuck in some step or something isn't clear. Cheers, Albert
