Hi,

When updating my local copy 'git pull' failed on Boost.Align with the 
following error:

Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

This is on the master branch. I didn't modify my local copy of Boost.Align, so 
there must have been some weird change upstream that cannot be merged 
automatically. Does anyone know why this happens?

For now I just reset my local branch to be equal to the remote master, but 
this kind of problem happened before and it breaks my update scripts.
