I've figured out what happened, btw. This is part of my build if
snapshot Debian packages, and to do those, I propagate nvm, nvm.debian
and nvm.levitte.select-heads-of into a private branch,
richard.levitte.org:compilations.monotone
The conflict above occurs because the *file* debian/examples was just
created in nvm, while the *directory* debian/examples/ has existed in
nvm.debian for a while. I understand that's an impossible situation.
So, at this point, I'd like to ask the Debian savvy, what's the
correct path of action? I'm guessing the directory debian/exmaples/
in nvm.debian should be renamed, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe the
contents (read-permissions and write-permissions) should simply be
moved down to the directory examples/ and then debian/examples/ should
be removed?
(Matthew Nicholson, since you created the nvm.debian branch, what's
your take on this?)
Cheers,
Richard
