Hi,

I'm going my first steps with topgit and this tool seems to add the missing link for my git experience.

I have a little problem with conflicts resulting from different topgit branches though. What I'm trying to do is this (taken from the topgit README):

## Create another topic branch depending on two others non-trivially $ tg create t/whatever t/revlist/author-fixed t/gitweb/nifty-links tg: Creating t/whatever base from t/revlist/author-fixed... tg: Merging t/whatever base with t/gitweb/nifty-links... Merge failed! tg: Please commit merge resolution and call: tg create tg: It is also safe to abort this operation using `git reset --hard` tg: but please remember you are on the base branch now; tg: you will want to switch to a different branch. $ ..resolve..

After resolving I exported t/whatever to a quilt series. The series does not apply because it does not contain the conflict resolution. If I export to a git branch instead the merge is a commit of its own, resulting in a non linear history. Any chance to fix this or am I missing something?

Another thing is that the exported branch contains an empty commit resulting from t/whatever (and a corresponding empty patch when exported as a quilt series)

Best regards,
  Sascha
