I just realized that if I've got an uncommitted local change in a tree and I update my tree with cg-update to merge in changes from a different tree... cg-update will pull the changes and do the merge. So that's all cool, but as it does the merge, it will re-write my local file that has the uncommitted change, even if that file didn't change in the repository I pulled from, i.e. nothing to merge for that file. This is, to me at least, not the desired behavior, if there's no reason for cg-update to touch a file it shouldn't. Thoughts? If someone points me in the right direction I'm willing to take a stab at fixing this myself... -- jst ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2005-09-12 00:02 Subject: Re: cg-update question.

This should never ever happen - cg-update should refuse to touch any files containing uncommitted changes. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox ```
