#44401: git-flow @0.4.1_1 git flow feature finish with conflict -> error ------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: philippe.lang@… | Owner: jason-macports@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: git-flow | ------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by philippe.lang@…): Hi, Here is a sequence that reproduces the permission error: {{{ mkdir foo cd foo git init . git flow init git flow feature start f1 git checkout develop git flow feature start f2 git checkout feature/f1 echo "content1" > file.txt git add file.txt git commit -m "commit" git flow feature finish f1 git checkout feature/f2 echo "content2" > file.txt git add file.txt git commit -m "commit" git flow feature finish f2 }}} The last command gives: {{{ Switched to branch 'develop' Auto-merging file.txt CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in file.txt Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. mkdir: /.gitflow: Permission denied /opt/local/bin/git-flow-feature: line 320: /.gitflow/MERGE_BASE: No such file or directory There were merge conflicts. To resolve the merge conflict manually, use: git mergetool git commit You can then complete the finish by running it again: git flow feature finish f2 }}} I could also see the problem is certainly related to "$DOT_GIT_DIR". But how/why, I don't know! As a side-note, I would like to add that the OSX Git App "Tower 2.0" is bundled with git 2.0.0, and I'm not able to reproduce the bug with it, from the UI. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44401#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
