Hello,
I have got a case in which merge --squash issues an error that does
not exist. I hope I am wrong, though.
Consider the following example:
rm -rf public.git
rm -rf private
git init --bare public.git
git clone public.git private
cd private
touch f1; git add f1; git commit -m A
git checkout -b b1
touch f2; git add f2; git commit -m B
git checkout master
git checkout -b b2
touch f3; git add f3; git commit -m C
git checkout master
git checkout -b b3
touch f4; git add f4; git commit -m D
--- at this point we have
A (f1) master
|--B (f1,f2) b1
|--C (f1,f3) b2
`--D (f1,f4) *b3
git merge --squash b1
git merge --squash b2
The first merge adds f2 to the workspace, which then contains f1, f2 and f4.
The second merge should add f3, and instead it complains:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
f2
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
Why should it overwrite f2, and with what?
