Description Jérôme de Vivie CLA 2011-09-30 09:34:03 EDT
Build Identifier: eclipse.buildId=M20110210-1200

In branch "B", I've removed a file "toto" + commit.
In branch "A", I've modified a file in filesystem but do not added it to index.

When i merge branch "B" to "A", i get an internal error w/ a message difficult to assess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From a repo w/ a file "toto" already under source control in branch "A", create a new branch "B" and checked it out.
2. Delete "toto" in branch "B" and commit change
3. Checked out back "A" branch and modify "toto" without adding it to index
4. Merge branch "B" into "A"

Here attached, you will find a screenshot and error log. Could you have a look at it, pls ? Thank you

Same error occurs w/ the following steps:
1) adding + commiting a file into "B" branch
2) add a file w/ the same name in "A" branch and keep it just in filesystem
3) do merge of "B" into "A"
