From: Evgeniy Ivanov Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 14:26:25 GMT Subject: Git merge: conflict is expected, but not detected Message-ID: Hi! Let's say I have two identical branches: master and topic. In master I remove some code, i.e. function bar(). In topic I do the same (commit) and after some time I realize I need bar() and revert previous commit with removal. So I end with master with no bar() and topic with bar() in its original state. When I merge I get code without bar() and no merge conflict (recursive or resolve strategies). Is it possible to detect such situations as conflicts? When bar() is C++ virtual there is no possibility to catch this with compiler. Please, CC me since I'm not subscribed. Thanks in advance! -- Cheers, Evgeniy
