Unison (which if I remember correctly uses rsync, or rsync over ssh) detect such case and ask user what to do if both sides changed a file (copy from one side, copy from second side, view diff, merge,...). But you can always tell unison to ignore git object database ignore = Name .git and perhaps also ignore working directories under git control ignore = Path path/to/working/dir/ -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Fri Aug 25 20:42:20 2006
