I do not think Dscho was pointing out any problem with your patch. He is merely pointing out that the goal of "No git-foo anywhere on the filesystem" is an unworkable one, as sometimes you need to give the path of a specific binary to commands. It is not limited to the "-o" option of "git merge-index", but the above is a good example. And I agree with Dscho that this is not a problem with your patch per-se. >>> echo "Simple merge failed, trying Automatic merge." >>> - if git-merge-index -o git-merge-one-file -a >>> + if git merge-index -o git-merge-one-file -a >> >> As above, with -octopus. > > Sorry, I can't follow you here. The same issue above, that you have to have "git-merge-one-file" somewhere in your filesystem on $GIT_EXEC_PATH, he pointed out when he commented on the patch to git-merge-octopus.sh, can be seen here. -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
