If what you are saying is that KDiff does not start if Git manages to resolve all conflicts on its own, then yes that makes sense. If there are no remaining conflicts after a merge (see git status), there is nothing left for KDiff to do. You can configure difftool<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-difftool.html>to use KDiff, and then study the last commit like this: git difftool -t kdiff HEAD~1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
