Git overwriting file changes when doing a merge -


i have git repository teammate forked branch , made commits , remerged reverted , other steps unclear on... changes , made commits on top of merge. caused changes overwritten, such merge pulling in other branch changes commit 3 , if try hard reset , remerge rewrites. i've tried applying patches because of changes in commit 3 cannot apply patch of commit 1, , not wish creat .gitattributes in 5 different directories , specify merge strategy suggested here: is possible exclude specific commits when doing git merge? .

is there simpler way merge , keep changes?

this diagram should show commit structure:

head   | commit 1   | commit 2  <-- merge branch mainline   |     \   |     branch-commit 1     |           |   |     branch-commit 2   |           | commit 3      |   |    \      |   |  commit   |   *    |      *        * 

in case rebasing did not work. issue here fork due reset , remerge reason caused of commits overwritten. branch-commit-* merged mainline.

to fix created patch commits overwritten , reapplied patch:

git format-patch branch-commit-2^..branch-commit-1 --stdout > feature.patch git --signoff < ~/feature.patch
