Merging branches does nothing

[Yordan Ramshev]

Dear Sir or Madam,

when I try to merge two branches, even though that I have selected "create a new commit even if fastforward is possible", nothing happens.
No error, no message, no merging, just nothing!

Hi

Can you provide any more context? Apologies if these seems like a stupid question but are there actually and differences between the branches?

Try

>git diff branch_1..branch_2

from the command line.
