I'm able to get the merge to master down to 137 conflicts by running these commands:
$ git checkout master $ git reset --hard // to get a clean status due to duplicate file names in the release branch $ git config merge.renamelimit 3200 // without this a warning is giving that the default value isn't high enough for the number of files being merged $ git merge -s recursive -X theirs release4.10.0 // 'recursive' is the default merge strategy and '-X theirs' tells it to automatically resolve conflicts by using the version from the release branch The remaining 137 conflicts are all of the type "added by them", "both added", "both deleted" or "deleted by them". You can see these and which files they are using git status. --Dasa On Jul 25, 2013, at 2:12 AM, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > As I feared there's 1600+ conflicts when merging the apache-flex-skd-4.10.0 > tag into master.
