I have a workspace with nothing in the working directory and one commit. This commit is a single file which conflicts with the remote's head.

(git status) reports:
# On branch master
# Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged,
# and have 1 and 74 different commit(s) each, respectively.
#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)


I tried to use EGit to merge using Team menu item, Merge item, Remote Tracking folder, origin/master (Ref), Merge button. I get the following error in a new window:

Multiple problems have occurred
(X) Merge of revisions abc..., 123..., with base def..., using strategy resolve resulted in: Failed. (hereafter known as (the same error message))

The white box in the window says:
(the same error message)
Merging with refs/remotes/origin/master

and the Details view shows (the same error message).


In Event Details, it shows the Date, the Severity is an Error, the Message is (the same error message), Exception Stack Trace is not available.
Session Data:
eclipse.buildId=I20110613-1736
java.version=1.6.0_26
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86


How do I get EGit to show me a 3-way merge for the conflicting, committed file?

here's some more information that may help someone reproduce the problem. i used the instructions at
www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge
to clone the repository.

one should be able to clone that without ssh access, modify a conflicting file, then attempt to merge.

after cloning, if you need me to push a conflicting file to test, you can PM me.

(if the problem is in SSH somehow, you won't be able to reproduce it this way.)

oh, and i cloned my repository within a subfolder of my eclipse workspace (since putting it in a direct subfolder did not work): eclipse-workspace/git/cardforge .
