Hello,
Hi, Some days ago i followed the tips: http://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch git clone greg's git tree and built branch first-patch. Due to my first patch that fixes coding style reported by checkptch.pl didn't applied,so i intend to rebase my git branch first-patch.The question i encounter is: ==================git command && output======== yubo@debian:~/maintree/staging$ git rebase first-patch It looks like git-am is in progress. Cannot rebase. yubo@debian:~/maintree/staging$ git am --abort You seem to have moved HEAD since the last 'am' failure. Not rewinding to ORIG_HEAD yubo@debian:~/maintree/staging$ git rebase first-patch First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Applying: ovl: default permissions Using index info to reconstruct a base tree... Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge... ---- Auto-merging drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c Failed to merge in the changes. Patch failed at 0010 drm/i915: Only run commit when crtc is active, v2.
Is there something with wrong? Thanks in advance for the noisy.
If you would like to update your patch with newest version of the tree, I recommend to you, use git am. Here is the blog post: http://www.pizzhacks.com/bugdrome/2011/10/deal-with-git-am-failures/
After updating your current tree;
Firstly, you should give the command: 1- git am your_old_patch
After seeing, it could not be applied, give this: 2- git apply PATCH --reject
You'll see rejected and applied chunks, the rejected parts will be specified with extension .rej (with related file name). You should edit related files manually.
3- git add fixed_files 4- git am --resolved
All done :). This way seems easier to me. The blog post explained steps, quite clear as well.
Thanks. I will learn more about git.
Kind regards, Ebru
