[Phpmyadmin-devel] FAO: Michal. Dealing with merge conflicts in po files
Hi Michal, I just had a conflict while merging QA_3_5 into master and I wasn't sure how to resolve it. The problem was the po file for Catalan language that was heavily modified in d72f329301c28d222facce53e3da67deeb41b782. So, the first question is: why didn't Weblate merge QA_3_5 into master after committing? And if it didn't merge because of the conflicts, then why did it commit and push something that cannot be automatically merged in the first place? And the second question is: what is the correct thing to do when something like that happens? What I did was discard all the changes in that l10n file from the QA_3_5 branch, although I'm not sure if this might have any implications (losing some translated strings?)... Bye, Rouslan

It does not merge it in git sense, because po files are usually very different between branches.

Yes, you did right thing. I've also documented this on the wiki: https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Translation_server#Merging_different_branche... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I see.
