From what I can see egit doesn't have a direct equivalent of 'git merge --abort'. I see an abort option for egit rebase but not egit merge. Am I not looking in the right place or does it not exist?

I can use egit reset to abort a conflicted merge but the result is not always identical to what 'git merge --abort' would do.

It does not exist (yet).

More than 4 year have gone now, have this already been implemented?

I can try, I will start to study the code to learn how to do that.

In the mean time, how can I work around this? I mean, since I tried to execute a merge and it ran into conflicts, how to undo the merge attempt in order to be able to proceed with other operations with the repository?

I tried to run git merge --abort with Runtime.exec() but it ends with the following message:
Quote:
error: Entry '<filename>' not uptodate. Cannot merge.
fatal: Could not reset index file to revision 'HEAD'.


This is what I have tried:

// Option 1
static final String ABORT_CMD = "git merge --abort";
static final String[] ABORT_ENV = { "GIT_PAGER=cat" };
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = run.exec(ABORT_CMD, ABORT_ENV, repositoryPath);
pr.waitFor();


// Option 2
ProcessBuilder pb =  new ProcessBuilder("git", "merge", "--abort");
pb.directory(repositoryPath);
Process pr = pb.start();
pr.waitFor();


In both ways, I have got the same message.

you can workaround by resetting hard to the commit you started the merge from

It seems to have worked for my purpose.
I had already tried this but without setref() to such commit.

by the way, would u mind to explain the difference between both approaches ("git reset <sha1>" and "git merge --abort")? I have found this, which left me wondering whether the latter is an alias for the first one or not.
