[Bioc-devel] git transition: unrelated histories

[Turaga, Nitesh]

Make sure you do not have duplicate commits when you merge unrelated histories.

Thanks

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

Best,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Could you please try the merge for the other branch? Or please give me the url of the GitHub package, and tell me which branch and I’ll see what the problem is.

Or try it and copy the commands in the email along with the output.

I need more information to help you resolve this.

Best,

Nitesh

Hi,
I am trying to make the git transition from our RnBeads package. Unfortunately I am not able to merge from our current github’s master branch (which had been existing since SVN times) to the BioC master branch due to unrelated history:
“refusing to merge unrelated histories”
I would like to keep syncing both to our github and to BioC. 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.
Has anyone else had this issue and knows how to resolve this best?

Best regards,
Fabian
