linux-next: manual merge of the security-testing tree with the tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi James,

Today's linux-next merge of the security-testing tree produced a large
number of conflicts in files not modified by the security-testing tree.
I assume that this is a bug in "git merge" but I cannot complete the
merge as such.

I have used the security-testing tree from next-20110628 for today.

More information for the git experts:

The security-testing tree is at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6.git
and I am trying to merge branch "next" into linux-next at commit
9fd8fab5e299a ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'voltage/for-next'").

I can merge commit 0e4ae0e0dec6 ("TOMOYO: Make several options
configurable") from the security testing tree without conflict and also
commit 25e75dff519b ("AppArmor: Fix masking of capabilities in complain
mode").

I cannot merge commit bcd05ca10420 ("Merge branch 'for-security' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jj/apparmor-dev into next")
which is the child of the above two commits.

The tree to commit 25e75dff519b only containes two simple commits
(modifying 2 files) and is based on v3.0-rc5.  The tree to commit
bcd05ca10420 containes several commits and is based on commit
06e86849cf40 ("Merge branch 'pm-fixes' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6") from
Linus' tree (between v3.0-rc2 and v3.0-rc2).

After attempting the merge I get this:

None of the "Unmerged paths" are modified in the tree I am merging in.

The linux-next tree will be published later today and James' tree is
available already (I can publis my copy of it if James modifies his).
