It was possible for an interrupt at the wrong +time to leave the merge committed, but the work tree not yet updated. And +then the next sync would make a commit that reverted the merged changes! + +To fix this I had to avoid making any merge commit or indeed updating the +index until after the work tree is updated. It looked intractable for a +while; I'm still surprised I eventually succeeded. |
