When trying to merge /pom.xml on branch R1 to branch R2 git didn't detect the merge and tried to put the changes into /pom.xml on R2. I am guessing this is because when it went to merge /pom.xml on R1 to R2 it found a /pom.xml on R2 and did not bother to attempt any rename logic.
On R1 /pom.xml is the webapp's pom.xml file. On R2 /pom.xml is the parent pom.xml file. It makes no sense to try and merge two different files together. I would be surprised if it was an msysgit issue, but I provide it for context. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
