Visual Studio with Git Conflict prevents checkout
(Copied from sister website: CodeEase.com)

An error occurred. Detailed message: 1 conflict prevents checkout.
However, I could not see any ‘resolve conflict’ option on screen, also, there is no any changes which I did on this computer. Seems there was no any way to resolve this issue.
After searching, I realized there were some developers met the similar issue but all had different reasons. For my case, since there was no any helpful information, I tried to use the Git command which other developers used so that I might get different message.

I might removed the reference in my new code. but it is not a problem if keeping its link, so I answered No to the requested question:
After above processing, the Git pull conflict issue resolved.
Above is the case which I met and resolved, but maybe not for your case. I just share one case to everybody, hope the post can give you some helpful information.
