Subject: git is screwed
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2015 10:17:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1YZgge-0008FR-Qh@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
I committed some changes using C-x v v in vc-dir.
Something went wrong with lisp/ChangeLog.
It appears that my change log entries went into an old version of that
file; I don't know why this happened, since I wrote them today after
doing 'git pull'.
After this, I did 'git pull' again, and it said there was a merge
conflict in lisp/ChangeLpg. A lot of text appears to be missing from
the file. It said, "fix conflicts and then commit the result."
I edited lisp/ChangeLog and tried to commit it with C-x v v.
That gave me the error message
fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a merge.
I am now stuck. I don't know what a "merge" is; it is certainly
nothing I asked to do.
How can I get this unwedged?
Is my change to the default value of browse-url-firefox-program
visible in browse-url.el? It should try icecat first.
My previous use of git is limited to getting the Emacs sources
to build them.
