I've tried hard, but failed. Unfortunately, I won't have more time to
work on this merge in the next weeks, and hope somebody else will
succeed.
Here is the situation:
* from the branch elouann/translation:
git fetch elouann translation
git checkout -b fr-solve-conflicts elouann/translation
* pull from master
git pull origin master
this returns indeed tons of conflicts.
* install meld
# apt-get install meld
meld is a tool to compare files. Really usefull in that case.
* git mergetool
This opens each problematic file in meld. Local version should be on
the left, remote on the right. Merge in the middle, save, then exit meld.
Two problems I stumbled upon:
* after merging each file and after commiting, I tried to pull again
from origin/master. The very same conflicts appeared again.
* resolving the conflicts this way mixes up *in a single commit* the
modifications made during the conflict-merge and *all* the
differences pulled from origin/master. This is not what we want, as
this commit will be a pain to review. Unless I'm missing a secret
git command.
@ Mercedes508: perhaps splitting your commits in smaller batches may
ease the review process.
I promise a thundering ovation (at least) to the One who will solve this
tricky blocker.
Greetings,
