git merge in FreeBSD | The Git List

Rajkumar S· Mar 15, 2006, 14:52 UTC · lore

Hi,

I get a "git-merge-recursive: not found" error when I try to do a merge in FreeBSD. Same command in Linux does not give an error.

# git merge "Merging from updates" RELENG_1 RELENG_1_origin Trying really trivial in-index merge... fatal: Merge requires file-level merging Nope. /usr/local/bin/git-merge: git-merge-recursive: not found No merge strategy handled the merge.

I am using git version 1.2.4.gea75 in FreeBSD 6

This is probably the wrong python path in git-merge-recursive. I've got a fix on my laptop for this and gitk, but I haven't tried submitting it again (I guess email was hosed, or it got lost, when I sent the first version of it directly to Junio).

But might I also recommend ports/devel/git? I'm keeping it pretty up to date, and using it on a daily basis.
