Hello,
When I tried to `git rebase -i', I changed the first line in the editor from
'pick' to 'edit'. After the editor exited, git complained:
  error: Untracked working tree file 'DESIGN.TXT' would be overwritten by merge.
But this file is tracked, so first I did `git rebase --abort'.
I had to use `git config --bool core.ignorecase true' to get around the error.
It's because I use Git with Cygwin on an NTFS partition. Only thing I is that
'core.ignorecase' is undocumented.
After getting around the Cygwin specific workaround, I reran rebase. Again, I
edited the first line from 'pick' to 'edit'. All went well. Then I made the
amendment to the commit with `git commit --amend --author="me <me@somewhere>"'.
Now, when I typed `git rebase --continue' I got this:
  error: Entry 'code/src/sys_main.cc' not uptodate. Cannot merge.
  fatal: merging of trees e3249e935c9ccd790c372aac82b8e097044b1ffe and
ac79e613ed0fe912e0da2c5ccf52f6a540533cb8 failed
  Automatic cherry-pick failed.  After resolving the conflicts,
  mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>', and
  run 'git rebase --continue'
  Could not apply 5c03af9... commit test
I'm not sure what I have to do now, can someone help me with this?
