Bisecting: 43 revisions left to test after this
fatal: Untracked working tree file 'Documentation/filesystems/devfs/ChangeLog' would be overwritten by merge.

Got this while trying to bisec Linus' linux-2.6 tree. I have 1 
uncommited change in the tree so this might influence the need for 
merging.
