When I try to rebase one of my branches onto another, git is not able to merge and raises conflict. I can see the following in the conflicted file:
<<<<<<< HEAD======= if (($mode == 'w')) { $mode = 'r'; var_export($GLOBALS, true); //print("<pre>"); //var_dump(array_keys($GLOBALS)); //print("</pre>"); }>>>>>>> 7896670... Some initial changes that I carried over from other directory...
I am just wondering why git is not able to merge these two commits? It is a trivial merge, isn't it? One version contains nothing and another version contains something, so the merge is simple. What am I missing?
