CheckoutConflictException while Pull and merge

[Git-Mani]

I often have this error during Pull :

Exception caught during execution of merge command. org.eclipse.jgit.errors.CheckoutConflictException: Checkout conflict with files: etc ....

This error occurred very frequently . What could be the possible reason ?
Please refer screenshot for more detail.

CheckoutConflictException is thrown if you try to checkout some file which was modified locally and this modification isn't yet tracked in git. This is done to prevent that checking out a version of that file would have the effect that you would loose this local modification.

@msohn I am fairly confident that the answer to my question is "yes", but I would like to confirm.

Would the following scenario cause this issue:

1. Assume that there is an existing Git repository where File A exists and has been modified over time.
2. A user checks out the repository (now referred to as checkout-1)
3. A different user checks out the repository from the same origin (now referred to as checkout-2)
4. User-1 modifies File A in checkout-1 and pushes it back to the origin
5. User-2 modifies File A locally in checkout-2 and then performs a git pull where the pull would bring the new modification from User-2

Would step 5 meet the conditions to cause the error?
