I have once cloned a a project from a remote repository:
git cloned http://repo.or.cz/r/openbsc.git
After that I modified some files and commited.
In the mean time the remote repository had several commits. Now I want to
update my local repo from the remote repo but I also want to keep my own
commits. So, when doing "git pull" I get the message that certain files
needs to be updated.
Now, how can I get my local repo, with my own modification, updated by the
remote repo?
I know I need to be aware that those updates (or commits) from remote must
not conflict with my local.
Thank you.

I think you want to read up on workflows with git and decide whether you
want to rebase or merge. In short, git fetch --all (which is called by
git pull) will update your remote tracking branches (origin/*), and then
you can decide what to do with your local branch (probably master): Do
you merge origin/master into master, or do you rebase master onto
origin/master?

Thnx for your response,
What I want is merge origin/master to local branch master. My mistake is to
have some uncommited files and I guess that's the reason why it's not,
pardon me, it could not be updated. So I try to commit the files, but still
had issues about unmerged files. So as advised I did "git add -f
unmergedfile" and than they were added to the Index. Did finally the commit
and now get the "Already up-to-date" message after a pull command.
Still need to practice a lot to know what is exactly going on.
