RE: fatal: git-write-tree: not able to write tree

quoted

git am --3way --interactive --signoff --utf8 --resolved

Please say "--resolved" after you have actually resolved them,
eh, meaning, (1) edit the working tree file into a desired
shape, and (2) git-update-index drivers/acpi/thermal.c.

Thanks Junio, once again, for your help, we're up and running!

I'm okay with git being conservative and not doing the update-index
for me.  Perhaps the thing to do here is to make the failure message
more useful?

"fatal: git-write-tree: not able to write tree"

everything after "fatal" here is effectively a string
of random characters to the hapless user.

thanks,
