Subject: bug#29366: gitmerge to handle NEWS better
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 13:16:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a9wp2k24ty.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

Package: emacs
Version: 25.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Thanks for gitmerge.el, it's a great help.
It would be nice if it could handle NEWS better.
Currently etc/NEWS in the emacs-26 branch has been renamed to
etc/NEWS.26 in master. Running M-x gitmerge, this is not detected.
emacs-26:etc/NEWS changes are merged to master:etc/NEWS, resulting in a
merge conflict every time NEWS is touched in emacs-26.
Can gitmerge do something to help here?
