Subject: [git for translators] How to always generate conflicts for merges?
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 16:42:48 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C9A27ED4-CBD9-4FCD-B78F-8A1010D24D06@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

We're using Git to manage translations of an open-source book, and most of time it works well. But there's also a problem.

When we pull changes from upstream (English) to translation (e.g. Japanese), git auto-merges them.

Sometimes there conflicts, but not all the time.

For example, when a new file is added to English, it just gets auto-merged into Japanese.
But all new changes must be human-controlled, translated. 

Is there a way to force git always generate a conflict, even if changes could be auto-merged?
