Unrelated branches!!!!These branches have no common ancestor.

attempting to merge two branches, yet this cannot be taking place.

What ought to be the rationale?

Hey @Vinayakam R K

In order to do smart merges, git looks on previous commits to understand which changes to choose from each branch. Without a common ancestor, git won't have a starting point for the merge and won't be to update the commit tree correctly.

You can try solving this issue using git cherry-pick the selected commits or git show and git apply to apply the code changes without updating the commit tree.
