Adjust the order mergetools feeds the files to the p4merge backend
to match the p4 convention.
* kb/p4merge:
merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" case
git-merge-one-file: send "ERROR:" messages to stderr
git-merge-one-file: style cleanup
merge-one-file: remove stale comment
mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available
mergetools/p4merge: swap LOCAL and REMOTE

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.

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.

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.

* jk/merge-one-file-working-tree:
merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work trees
add tests for merge-index / merge-one-file
|
|
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.

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.

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.

This does two things:
- Use new --stage=2 option to create the working tree file with
leading paths and correct permission bits using
checkout-index, as before.
- Make sure we do not confuse "merge" program when the file
being merged has an unfortunate name, '-L'.

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).

When automerge fails, we used to collapse the path to stage0
from "our" branch, to help "diff-files" users to view the
half-merged state against the current HEAD. Now diff-files has
been taught how to compare with unmerged stage2,leaving them
unmerged is a better thing to do, especially this prevents the
unresolved conflicts to be committed by mistake.

Unlike the previous round that merged the path added differently
in each branches using emptiness as the base, compute a common
version and use it as input to 'merge' program.
This would show the resulting (still conflicting) file left in
the working tree as:
common file contents...
<<<<<< FILENAME
version from our branch...
======
version from their branch...
>>>>>> .merge_file_XXXXXX
more common file contents...
when both sides added similar contents.

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.
