I am using git version 1.7.9, built by me from git on Debian/testing. | |
I am on the Linux-2.5-stable tree. | |
Ie: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git | |
I just fetched after GregKH posted v3.2.3 was out. | |
$ git describe | |
v3.2.2 | |
$ git merge-base v3.2.2 v3.2.3 | xargs git describe | |
v3.2.2 | |
$ git merge --ff-only v3.2.3 | |
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. | |
BTW, after merging (without --ff-only), I got a merge commit with no changes on | |
the left side and all the v3.2.2..v3.2.3 changes on the right side (in gitk). | |
Running diff v3.2.3 shows no deltas. Running git show also has no deltas. |
