2005-10-03[PATCH] Enable and fix support for base less merges.Libravatar Fredrik Kuivinen1-2/+2
Let the merge strategies handle the base less case if they are able to do it. It also fixes git-resolve.sh to die if no common ancestors exists, instead of doing the wrong thing. Furthermore, it contains a small independent fix for git-merge.sh and a fix for a base less code path in gitMergeCommon.py. With this it's possible to use git merge -s recursive 'merge message' A B to do a base less merge of A and B. [jc: Thanks Fredrik for fixing the brown-paper-bag in git-merge. I fixed a small typo in git-merge-resolve fix; 'test' equality check is spelled with single equal sign -- C-style double equal sign is bashism.] Signed-off-by: Fredrik Kuivinen <freku045@student.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-02Handle really trivial case inside git-merge.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+21
Using Linus' --trivial option, this handles really trivial case inside git-merge itself, without using any strategy modules. A 'really trivial case' is: - we are merging one branch into the current branch; - there is only one merge base between the branches; - there is no file-level merge required.

2005-09-28Use git-update-ref in scripts.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+5
This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates. Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed to use git-rev-parse. This will matter when we start using symbolic references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-28Fastpath the normal case by not checking that index matches HEAD.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+4
The merge strategy would check this itself and typically does it by using git-read-tree -m -u 3-way merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-26Fix overzealous cleanliness check in git-mergeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+50
Being able to try multiple strategies and automatically picking one that seems to give less conflicting result may or may not much sense in practice. At least that should not force normal use case to additionally require the working tree to be fully clean. As Linus shouted, local changes do not matter unless they interfere with the merge. This commit changes git-merge not to require a clean working tree. Only when we will iterate through more than one merge strategies, local changes are stashed away before trying the first merge, and restored before second and later merges are attempted. The index file must be in sync with HEAD in any case -- otherwise the merge result would contain changes since HEAD that was done locally and registered in the index. This check is already enforced by three-way read-tree existing merge strategies use, but is done here as a safeguard as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-25[PATCH] More descriptive messages for conflict cases in mergesLibravatar Fredrik Kuivinen1-3/+4
The merge strategies can give more descriptive error messages for conflict cases if they are given the actual branch names instead of the SHA1s. Signed-off-by: Fredrik Kuivinen <freku045@student.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-13[PATCH] Rename the 'fredrik' merge strategy to 'recursive'.Libravatar Fredrik Kuivinen1-2/+2
Otherwise we would regret when Fredrik comes up with another merge algorithm with different pros-and-cons with the current one. Signed-off-by: Fredrik Kuivinen <freku045@student.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-12Fix off-by-one error in git-mergeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
'git-merge -s' without a strategy name does not fail and does not give usage as it should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-10Add a new merge strategy by Fredrik Kuivinen.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment to the 'git merge' driver and waiting. For now the new strategy is called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried. The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM build procecure files.

2005-09-10Multi-backend merge driver.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+212
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case. If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that succeeded auto-merging, if there is any. If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the one with the least number of such paths is left in the working tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a commit manually. The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge strategy programs is very simple: - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'. - They take input of this form: <common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>... That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into the current branch. - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is matched to the current <head>. - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the index file will be used to record the merge result as a commit by the driver. - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so. - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or 1 if it does not handle the given merge at all. As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on 'git resolve' and 'git octopus'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
