I had this problem as well when there was a HEAD tag at a commit behind the current local master or origin/master. Try double-clicking your local master (which eliminates HEAD) and then push your changes. Note that if you do not have a local master, right-click on remote origin master and choose ‘Checkout origin/master’. Then … Read more
Update Microsoft just added browser based merges. This may get you out of a pickle for small conflicts. And offers improved visualizations of the different scenarios as of Sprint 150. For more complex situations: You have two options to resolve the conflict, reverse-integrate the changes from the target branch (which creates additional merge commits), or … Read more
