2013-03-25merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" caseLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+2
Historically, we tried to be lenient to "both sides added, slightly differently" case and as long as the files can be merged using a made-up common ancestor cleanly, since f7d24bbefb06 (merge with /dev/null as base, instead of punting O==empty case, 2005-11-07). This was later further refined to use a better made-up common file with fd66dbf5297a (merge-one-file: use empty- or common-base condintionally in two-stage merge., 2005-11-10), but the spirit has been the same. But the original fix in f7d24bbefb06 to avoid punting on "both sides added" case had a code to unconditionally error out the merge. When this triggers, even though the content-level merge can be done cleanly, we end up not saying "content conflict" in the message, but still issue the error message, showing "ERROR: in <pathname>". Move that "always fail for add/add conflict" logic a bit higher to fix this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-03-25merge-one-file: remove stale commentLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
The "funny filename" comment was from b539c5e8fbd3 (git-merge-one: new merge world order., 2005-12-07) where the removed code just before that new comment ended with: merge "$4" "$orig" "$src2" (yes, we used to use "merge" program from the RCS suite). The comment refers to one of the bad side effect the old code used to have and warns against such a practice, i.e. it was talking about the code that no longer existed.

2013-03-13mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none availableLibravatar Kevin Bracey1-13/+5
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base: p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to: p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with similar inputs. Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable, and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a useful view. The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or equal to the left input. You get a good visual comparison, and it does not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base, it would autoresolve to the other branch). But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon on, but it's not intuitive. So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion: generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function. Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining everything from the 2 files. As with the other merges using this technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

2011-04-29merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work treesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
The merge-one-file tool predates the invention of GIT_WORK_TREE. By the time GIT_WORK_TREE was invented, most people were using the merge-recursive strategy, which handles resolving internally. Therefore these features have had very little testing together. For the most part, merge-one-file just works with GIT_WORK_TREE; most of its heavy lifting is done by plumbing commands which do respect GIT_WORK_TREE properly. The one exception is a shell redirection which touches the worktree directly, writing results to the wrong place in the presence of a GIT_WORK_TREE variable. This means that merges won't even fail; they will silently produce incorrect results, throwing out the entire "theirs" side of files which need content-level merging! This patch makes merge-one-file chdir to the toplevel of the working tree (and exit if we don't have one). This most closely matches the assumption made by the original script (before separate work trees were invented), and matches what happens when the script is called as part of a merge strategy. While we're at it, we'll also error-check the call to cat. Merging a file in a subdirectory could in fact fail, as the redirection relies on the "checkout-index" call just prior to create leading directories. But we never noticed, since we ignored the error return from running cat. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When a merge result creates a new file, and when our side already has a file in the path, taking the merge result may clobber the untracked file. However, the logic to detect this situation was totally the wrong way. We should complain when the file exists, not when the file does not exist. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-11Support a merge with conflicting gitlink changeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
merge-recursive did not support merging trees that have conflicting changes in submodules they contain, and died. Support it exactly the same way as how it handles conflicting symbolic link changes --- mark it as a conflict, take the tentative result from the current side, and letting the caller resolve the conflict, without dying in merge_file() function. Also reword the error message issued when merge_file() has to die because it sees a tree entry of type it does not support yet.

The three-way merge complained unconditionally when a path that does not exist in the index is involved in a merge when it existed in the working tree. If we are merging an old version that had that path tracked, but the path is not tracked anymore, and if we are merging that old version in, the result will be that the path is not tracked. In that case we should not complain. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Since we do not use git-update-index followed by git-checkout-index -u to create the half-merged file on conflicting case anymore, we need to make sure the leading directories are created here. Maybe a better solution would be to allow update-index to add to higher stage, and checkout-index to extract from such, but that is a change slightly bigger than I would like to have so close to 1.0, so this should do for now.

The "update-index followed by checkout-index" chain served two purposes -- to collapse the index to "our" version, and make sure that file exists in the working tree. In the recent update to leave the index unmerged on conflicting path, we wanted to stop doing the former, but we still need to do the latter (we allow merging to work in an un-checked-out working tree).

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+88
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
