When a path D that originally was blob in the ancestor was
modified on our branch while it was removed on the other branch,
we keep stages 1 and 2, and leave our version in the working
tree. If the other branch created a path D/F, however, that
path can cleanly be resolved in the index (after all, the
ancestor nor we do not have it and only the other side added),
but it cannot be checked out. The issue is the same when the
other branch had D and we had renamed it to D/F, or the ancestor
had D/F instead of D (so there are four combinations).
Do not stop the merge, but leave both D and D/F paths in the
index so that the user can clear things up.

When update-trees::threeway_merge() decides that a path that
exists in the current index (and HEAD) is to be removed, it
leaves a stage 0 entry whose mode bits are set to 0. The code
mistook it as "this stage wants the blob here", and proceeded
to call update_file_flags() which ended up trying to put the
mode=0 entry in the index, got very confused, and ended up
barfing with "do not know what to do with 000000".
Since threeway_merge() does not handle case #10 (one side
removes while the other side does not do anything), this is not
a problem while we refuse to merge branches that have D/F
conflicts, but when we start resolving them, we would need to be
able to remove cache entries, and at that point it starts to
matter.

This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive.
When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A,
B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of
reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also
done to the common ancestor tree.
If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git
repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/
subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel
is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui'
and records object name of the true tree, before being used by
the 3-way merge code.
If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of
git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel.
The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the
pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree.
Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).

This error message should not usually trigger, but the function
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo() can return early
without calling into refresh_cache_entry() that sets cache_errno.
Also the error message had a wrong function name reported, and

When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.
This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

git-merge-recursive wants an null tree as the fake merge base
while producing the merge result tree. The null tree does not
have to be written out in the object store as it won't be part
of the result, and it is a prime example for using the new
pretend_sha1_file() function.
git-blame needs to register an arbitrary data to in-core index
while annotating a working tree file (or standard input), but
git-blame is a read-only application and the user of it could
even lack the privilege to write into the object store; it is
another good example for pretend_sha1_file().

My earlier fix (8371234e) to delete renamed tracked files from the
working directory also caused merge-recursive to delete untracked
files that were in the working directory.
The problem here is merge-recursive is deleting the working directory
file without regard for which branch it was associated with. What we
really want to do during a merge is to only delete files that were
renamed by the branch we are merging into the current branch,
and that are still tracked by the current branch. These files
definitely don't belong in the working directory anymore.
Anything else is either a merge conflict (already handled in other
parts of the code) or a file that is untracked by the current branch
and thus is not even participating in the merge. Its this latter
class that must be left alone.
For this fix to work we are now assuming that the first non-base
argument passed to git-merge-recursive always corresponds to the
working directory. This is already true for all in-tree callers
of merge-recursive. This assumption is also supported by the
long time usage message of "<base> ... -- <head> <remote>", where
"<head>" is implied to be HEAD, which is generally assumed to be
the current tree-ish.

Now that we are showing the output messages for verbosity levels
<5 after all actions have been performed (due to the progress meter
running during the actions) it can be confusing to see messages in
the present tense when the user is looking at a '100% done' message
right above them. Converting the messages to past tense will appear
more correct in this case, and shouldn't affect a developer who is
debugging the application and running it at a verbosity level >=5.

Because large merges on slow systems can take up to a minute to
execute we should try to keep the user entertained with a progress
meter to let them know how far we have progressed through the
current merge.
The progress meter considers each entry in the in-memory index to
be a unit, which means a single recursive merge will double the
number of units in the progress meter. Files which are unmerged
after the 3-way tree merge are also considered a unit within the
progress meter.

Buffering all message output until a merge invocation is complete is
necessary to prevent intereferring with a progress meter that would
indicate the number of files completely merged, and how many remain.
This change does not introduce a progress meter, but merely lays
the groundwork to buffer the output.
To aid debugging output buffering is only enabled if verbosity
is lower than 5. When using verbosity levels above 5 the user is
probably debugging the merge program itself and does not want to
see the output delayed, especially if they are stepping through
portions of the code in a debugger.

Because the output_indent always matches the call_depth value
there is no reason to pass around the call_depth to the merge
function during each recursive invocation.

The merge-recursive implementation in C inherited the invariant
that the on-file index file is written out and later read back
after any index operations and writing trees from the original
Python implementation. But it was only because the original
implementation worked at the scripting level.

every path.

We have a number of badly checked write() calls. Often we are
expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail,
this fails to handle interrupts or short writes. Switch to using
the new write_in_full(). Otherwise we at a minimum need to check
for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xwrite().

To support wider use cases, such as from within `git am -3`, the
merge-recursive utility needs to accept not just commit-ish but
also tree-ish as arguments on its command line.
If given a tree-ish then merge-recursive will create a virtual commit
wrapping it, with the subject of the commit set to the best name we
can derive for that tree, which is either the command line string
(probably the SHA1), or whatever string appears in GITHEAD_*.

Displaying the SHA1 of 'their' branch (the branch being merged into
the current branch) is not nearly as friendly as just displaying
the name of that branch, especially if that branch is already local
to this repository.
git-merge now sets the environment variable 'GITHEAD_%(sha1)=%(name)'
for each argument it gets passed, making the actual input name that
resolved to the commit '%(sha1)' easily available to the invoked
merge strategy.
git-merge-recursive makes use of these environment variables when
they are available by using '%(name)' whenever it outputs the commit
identification rather than '%(sha1)'. This is most obvious in the
conflict hunks created by xdl_merge:
$ git mege sideb~1
<<<<<<< HEAD:INSTALL
Good!
=======
Oops.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

There are some baseless merge cases where git-merge-recursive will
try to compare one of the branches against the empty tree. However
most projects won't have the empty tree object in their object database
as Git does not normally create empty tree objects. If the empty tree
object is missing then the merge process will die, as it cannot load the
object from the database. The error message may make the user think that
their database is corrupt when its actually not.
So instead we should just create the empty tree object whenever it is
needed. If the object already exists as a loose object then no harm
done. Otherwise that loose object will be pruned away later by either
git-prune or git-prune-packed.
Thanks goes to Junio for suggesting this fix.

It seems to be the only sane way to do it: when a two-head merge is

If we start creating virtual commits from newer merge-bases, and go
