[Bioc-devel] git transition: unrelated histories

[Fabian Müller]

Hi Nitesh,
I think I solved it: another  “--allow-unrelated-histories” for the merge from the additional branch did the trick.

Best,
Fabian

I tried the “--allow-unrelated-histories” option, but it did not really work: after resolving a bunch of merge conflicts, pulling again from the BioC git and resolving merge conflicts again, I am able to push to BioC. However, if I then want to merge from another branch of our github, I get unrelated histories again.
