Re: needs merge

git-update-index my-file

yes, that allowed the git commit to complete, thanks.

however, when i then merged that branch into another there seem to
be some phantom conflicts on the very same files.
Do I understand all this output to mean that git attempted two
different merges, and discarded the 1st attempt in favor of the second?

thanks,
