Gilles commented on RNG-37:
---------------------------
{{git}} reports a conflict when I try to pull the latest set of changes ("fixes
3"):
{noformat}
You have unmerged paths.
(fix conflicts and run "git commit")
(use "git merge --abort" to abort the merge)
Unmerged paths:
(use "git add <file>..." to mark resolution)
both added:
commons-rng-sampling/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/rng/sampling/distribution/ZigguratGaussianSampler.java
{noformat}
By the way, Olga, the log must be useful for later review; a message like
"fixes" is useless. If the change has improved the Javadoc; the message can
just be "Javadoc"; if it fixes problems signaled by a reporting tool, the
message would be like "Avoid warning from <toolname>" etc. If the code is
modified in a non-obvious, it's always nice to summarize the changes for the
log.
