Can't push upstream - duplicate commits

Biostatistics and Computational Biology…

Dear Bioconductor,

I am trying to fix the error that our package bumphunter is producing. The error is due to a data file that is used in the tests which was moved and has a new URL. But when I try to push to upstream, I get an error about duplicate commits. I did this: (i) followed the instructions in the page "force Bioconductor master to GitHub master" (ii) cherry-picked the commit from master_deprecated which fixes the bug and (iii) tried to push upstream. But I'm still getting the same error.

I can't figure out what to do. Do I have to rebase somewhere?

I have the git log --one-line --graph output I can send if that would be informative.

Any advice you can offer would be extremely helpful.

thanks,

- Sam

Hi Sam,

I took a look at bumphunter. There are a couple of things I wanted to say.

First, it seems like this commit was the one creating all the duplicate commits for the package.

You can see that there is a "chain" of duplicate commits all the way to the very beginning of the commit history.

(You can try, git log --oneline to view the duplicates)

Second, the way to fix duplicate commits is given at this location on the bioconductor website. http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/resolve-duplicate-commits/.

bumphunter was notified during the last release of the duplicate commit issue https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2018-April/013469.html. I believe it will be easier going forward if there is effort made to clean up the commit history.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. <bioc-devel> mailing list is a better venue for this thread.

If it really bugs you, you could try not reading it.

Questions about package development belong on the bioc-devel mailing list, where the experts on package development will see the post, and where others are more likely to see solutions to problems that they themselves experience during package development; Mike was primarily trying to be helpful. I asked Nitesh to respond here, so that your concern gets addressed.
