Git: can't undo local changes (error: path ... is unmerged)
- by mklhmnn
I have following working tree state
$ git status foo/bar.txt
# On branch master
# Unmerged paths:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution)
#
# deleted by us: foo/bar.txt
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
File foo/bar.txt is there and I want to get it to the "unchanged state" again (similar to 'svn revert'):
$ git checkout HEAD foo/bar.txt
error: path 'foo/bar.txt' is unmerged
$ git reset HEAD foo/bar.txt
Unstaged changes after reset:
M foo/bar.txt
Now it is getting confusing:
$ git status foo/bar.txt
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: foo/bar.txt
#
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: foo/bar.txt
#
The same file in both sections, new and modified? What should I do? Thanks in advance.
