This is because the file is not an ancestor of the previous file.

There is the --ignore-ancestry switch on the merge command. But, I don't see it on the log command.

Perhaps you should delete your file from HEAD... and restore the original version and apply any changes to it.

I would say, don't delete a file and recreate it if they share ancestry.

I guess it's like the old joke...

Dr... my arm hurts when I move it like this. To which the Dr. says, "then don't move it like that."
