It should be ok, and as there are "3 blocks", you will probably find |
| 28 |
three instances of "[blocks b ]" (note the lowercase "b"), which are |
| 29 |
automatically resolved (usually) by an "[unmerge ]" line further |
| 30 |
down (or up, if you are using --tree). This corresponds to the new |
| 31 |
behavior, which automatically fixes problems like the old |
| 32 |
e2fsprogs/com_err/ss/e2fsprogs-libs blocker, without breaking anything |
| 33 |
(well, the system may be in an inconsistent state if you loose power at |
| 34 |
*exactly* the wrong time, but that can happen anyway during a merge, |
| 35 |
even without this new behavior). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
PS: I hope I didn't ramble on too much... this was going to be much |
| 38 |
longer, and less coherent. |
