Cannot continue git rebase

Question

Here's what I have tried. Hopefully somebody has a moment to look at this and suggest something. Thanks!

Edit: I believe I have answered my own question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12760672/906794

• Clone my repo

   $ git clone leoj3n/roots Cloning into 'roots'... remote: Counting objects: 3177, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1362/1362), done. remote: Total 3177 (delta 2117), reused 2761 (delta 1792) Receiving objects: 100% (3177/3177), 1.40 MiB | 609 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (2117/2117), done. Checking out files: 100% (146/146), done. 

• Change directory

   $ cd roots 

• Check status

   roots(parent) $ git status # On branch parent nothing to commit (working directory clean) 

• Add upstream

   roots(parent) $ git remote add upstream retlehs roots(parent) $ git remote origin upstream 

• Fetch

   roots(parent) $ git fetch --all Fetching origin Fetching upstream remote: Counting objects: 70, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (30/30), done. remote: Total 56 (delta 28), reused 51 (delta 23) Unpacking objects: 100% (56/56), done. From git://github.com/retlehs/roots * [new branch] classic -> upstream/classic * [new branch] grunt -> upstream/grunt * [new branch] improve_sidebar_config -> upstream/improve_sidebar_config * [new branch] master -> upstream/master * [new branch] vcard_refactor -> upstream/vcard_refactor * [new tag] 5.1.0 -> 5.1.0 * [new tag] 5.2.0 -> 5.2.0 * [new tag] 6.0.0 -> 6.0.0 * [new tag] 6.1.0 -> 6.1.0 

• Rebase parent onto upstream/master

   roots(parent) $ git rebase -i upstream/master <<<<<< BEGIN WHAT I HAD IN vi >>>>>> pick 4904103 improved url cleaning for child themes s 986e6de added some is_child_theme() checks s 2860aee urls now look like /child/css/* s 4282ee0 Look for files in child, then in roots p bf9a89a Now using Theme Hook Alliance f 56d1211 Added THA utility script f 7702269 Added missing hooks f 14204d8 Support for multisite f aca4577 No more multisite rewrites f 8144b83 Revert some changes pick fbf1dec Added filter to disable sidebars pick 9b77e72 Added font-awesome f 161864d Remove test code <<<<<< END WHAT I HAD IN vi >>>>>> 

  Then I get this error:

   error: could not apply 4904103... improved url cleaning for child themes When you have resolved this problem, run "git rebase --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git rebase --skip" instead. To check out the original branch and stop rebasing, run "git rebase --abort". Could not apply 4904103... improved url cleaning for child themes 

• Resolve the conflicts

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git mergetool merge tool candidates: opendiff kdiff3 tkdiff xxdiff meld tortoisemerge gvimdiff diffuse ecmerge p4merge araxis bc3 emerge vimdiff Merging: lib/config.php Normal merge conflict for 'lib/config.php': {local}: modified file {remote}: modified file Hit return to start merge resolution tool (opendiff): 2012-10-06 05:10:11.363 FileMerge[22088:707] Unable to load platform at path /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform 2012-10-06 05:10:11.364 FileMerge[22088:707] Unable to load platform at path /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform 

  Note I get some errors running Opendiff.

• Done resolving conflicts, so continue

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git rebase --continue You must edit all merge conflicts and then mark them as resolved using git add 

• Huh? Check status:

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git status # Not currently on any branch. # You are currently rebasing. # (all conflicts fixed: run "git rebase --continue") # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: lib/config.php # modified: lib/htaccess.php # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # lib/config.php.orig 

• Remove merge backup file

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ rm lib/config.php.orig roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git status # Not currently on any branch. # You are currently rebasing. # (all conflicts fixed: run "git rebase --continue") # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: lib/config.php # modified: lib/htaccess.php # 

• Continue rebase

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git rebase --continue You must edit all merge conflicts and then mark them as resolved using git add 

• Hmm, try adding everything

   roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git add -A roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git rebase --continue You must edit all merge conflicts and then mark them as resolved using git add 

This is when I gave up and made this SO question.

Here's some more info:

roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git diff-files --ignore-submodules
:100644 100644 f65cf1dc4573c51e54d7cf3772d06caf96726616 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 assets/js/vendor/jquery-1.8.2.min.js

I think it may have to do with the mergetool opendiff—notice the errors above.

roots(parent|REBASE-i) $ git config --list

remote.upstream.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

Surprisingly, I was able to rebase on my windows machine using tortoisemerge.

Answer 1

It seems the problem was because of file times being off. This repo is on a network drive and is accessed/modified by both Windows and Macs...

All I needed to do, it seems, is change a single configuration item...

git config --global core.trustctime false
