[Bioc-devel] Duplicate commit error when pushing to annotatr upstream/master

[Turaga, Nitesh]

Hi Raymond,

I have fixed your repository on Bioconductor, and you are able to push changes again. 

Duplicate commits are caused because of “merge” commits from remotes. Please make sure that before you push from hence forth, or merge, that the duplicate commit issue doesn’t reoccur.


Best,

Nitesh

I was always confused about the git-svn bridge, but these twin commits are an artifact of that system, I think. The commit that I was trying to push to upstream/master is unrelated to those two commits, and I have committed other items in the new git way prior to the 3.6 release with no issue.

I fall into this case.
