Answer 2

The proper solution is the one provided by @Jojo.Lechelt.

However if you don't want to commit for any reason and still want to pull the changes,you may save your changes somewhere else,replace the conflicting file with HEAD revision and then pull.

Later you can paste your changes again and compare it with HEAD and incorporate other people changes into your file.

In Eclipse :-

1. Right click -> click on 'add to index'

Add conflict file in staged area

2. Right Click ->click on commit

Add conflict file in local repository

Changes mentioned as Head(<<<<<< HEAD) is your change, Changes mentioned in branch(>>>>>>> branch) is other person change, you can update file accordingly.
