2010-07-02Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalizationLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-0/+10
Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files, even if the only difference between the two versions is the line endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are obscured because every line in the file has a conflict. Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF checked in (A): o---C / \ A---B---D B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to LF-only C: Modify some of the text files D: Try to merge C You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the new .gitattributes file. Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to normalization. This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize" config variable enables it.

2009-04-07git-mergetool: add new merge tool TortoiseMergeLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-1/+1
TortoiseMerge comes with TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGit for Windows. It can only be used as a merge tool with an existing base file. It cannot be used without a base nor as a diff tool. The documentation only mentions the slash '/' as command line option prefix, which refused to work, but the parser also accepts the dash '-' See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=226 Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-05-03add merge.renamelimit config optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
The point of rename limiting is to bound the amount of time we spend figuring out inexact renames. Currently we use a single value, diff.renamelimit, for all situations. However, it is probably the case that a user is willing to spend more time finding renames during a merge than they are while looking at git-log. This patch provides a way of setting those values separately (though for backwards compatibility, merge still falls back on the diff renamelimit).

2008-04-12fmt-merge-msg: add '--(no-)log' options and 'merge.log' config variableLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
These are new synonyms to the '--(no-)summary' option and the 'merge.summary' config variable, but are consistent with the soon to be added 'merge --(no-)log' options. The 'merge.summary' config variable and '--(no-)summary' options are still accepted, but are advertised to be removed in the future. 'merge.log' takes precedence over 'merge.summary' if they are both set inconsistently. Update documentation and tests accordingly.
