2012-03-23merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty filesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies "foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same or similar content). This is quite rare if the files actually contain content, since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the same content. However, empty files present a problem, in that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related to a placeholder file with another name. The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your content may end up in another random placeholder file that was added. Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict on the merge, which will let the user sort it out themselves.

Unfortunately, this broke assumptions of the get_renames() code (via string_list_lookup() calls) which needed the list to be in the standard ordering. When those lookups would fail, duplicate stage_data entries could be inserted, causing the process_renames and process_entry code to fail (in particular, a path that that process_renames had marked as processed would still be processed anyway in process_entry due to the duplicate entry).

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Consider modifications in rename/rename(2to1) conflictsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-9/+21
Our previous conflict resolution for renaming two different files to the same name ignored the fact that each of those files may have modifications from both sides of history to consider. We need to do a three-way merge for each of those files, and then handle the conflict of both sets of merged contents trying to be recorded with the same name. It is important to note that this changes our strategy in the recursive case. After doing a three-way content merge of each of the files involved, we still are faced with the fact that we are trying to put both of the results (including conflict markers) into the same path. We could do another two-way merge, but I think that becomes confusing. Also, taking a hint from the modify/delete and rename/delete cases we handled earlier, a more useful "common ground" would be to keep the three-way content merge but record it with the original filename. The renames can still be detected, we just allow it to be done in the o->call_depth=0 case. This seems to result in simpler & easier to understand merge conflicts as well, as evidenced by some of the changes needed in our testsuite in t6036. (However, it should be noted that this change will cause problems those renames also occur along with a file being added whose name matches the source of the rename. Since git currently cannot detect rename/add-source situations, though, this codepath is not currently used for those cases anyway.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix modify/delete resolution in the recursive caseLibravatar Elijah Newren1-14/+24
When o->call_depth>0 and we have conflicts, we try to find "middle ground" when creating the virtual merge base. In the case of content conflicts, this can be done by doing a three-way content merge and using the result. In all parts where the three-way content merge is clean, it is the correct middle ground, and in parts where it conflicts there is no middle ground but the conflict markers provide a good compromise since they are unlikely to accidentally match any further changes. In the case of a modify/delete conflict, we cannot do the same thing. Accepting either endpoint as the resolution for the virtual merge base runs the risk that when handling the non-recursive case we will silently accept one person's resolution over another without flagging a conflict. In this case, the closest "middle ground" we have is actually the merge base of the candidate merge bases. (We could alternatively attempt a three way content merge using an empty file in place of the deleted file, but that seems to be more work than necessary.)

2011-08-14merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip itLibravatar Elijah Newren1-3/+16
In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20), there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy anyway. When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating the working copy. Note that there was a similar change in b2c8c0a (merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip it 2011-02-28), but it was reverted by 6db4105 (Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'" 2011-05-19) since it did not fix both of the relevant types of unnecessary update breakages and, worse, it made use of some band-aids that caused other problems. The reason this change works is due to the changes earlier in this series to (a) record_df_conflict_files instead of just unlinking them early, (b) allowing make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entries, (c) the splitting of update_stages_and_entry() to have its functionality called at different points, and (d) making the pathnames of the files involved in the merge available to merge_content().

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix deletion of untracked file in rename/delete conflictsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+2
In the recursive case (o->call_depth > 0), we do not modify the working directory. However, when o->call_depth==0, file renames can mean we need to delete the old filename from the working copy. Since there have been lots of changes and mistakes here, let's go through the details. Let's start with a simple explanation of what we are trying to achieve: Original goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be removed from the working directory. The path to getting the above statement implemented in merge-recursive took several steps. The relevant bits of code may be instructive to keep in mind for the explanation, especially since an English-only description involves double negatives that are hard to follow. These bits of code are: int remove_file(..., const char *path, int no_wd) { ... int update_working_directory = !o->call_depth && !no_wd; and remove_file(o, 1, ren1_src, <expression>); Where the choice for <expression> has morphed over time: 65ac6e9 (merge-recursive: adjust to loosened "working file clobbered" check 2006-10-27), introduced the "no_wd" parameter to remove_file() and used "1" for <expression>. This meant ren1_src was never deleted, leaving it around in the working copy. In 8371234 (Remove uncontested renamed files during merge. 2006-12-13), <expression> was changed to "index_only" (where index_only == !!o->call_depth; see b7fa51da). This was equivalent to using "0" for <expression> (due to the early logic in remove_file), and is orthogonal to the condition we actually want to check at this point; it resulted in the source file being removed except when index_only was false. This was problematic because the file could have been renamed on the side of history including head, in which case ren1_src could correspond to an untracked file that should not be deleted. In 183d797 (Keep untracked files not involved in a merge. 2007-02-04), <expression> was changed to "index_only || stage == 3". While this gives correct behavior, the "index_only ||" portion of <expression> is unnecessary and makes the code slightly harder to follow. There were also two further changes to this expression, though without any change in behavior. First in b7fa51d (merge-recursive: get rid of the index_only global variable 2008-09-02), it was changed to "o->call_depth || stage == 3". (index_only == !!o->call_depth). Later, in 41d70bd6 (merge-recursive: Small code clarification -- variable name and comments), this was changed to "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" (where stage was renamed to other_stage and renamed_stage == other_stage ^ 1). So we ended with <expression> being "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2". But the "o->call_depth ||" piece was unnecessary. We can remove it, leaving us with <expression> being "renamed_stage == 2". This doesn't change behavior at all, but it makes the code clearer. Which is good, because it's about to get uglier. Corrected goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be removed from the working directory *IF* that file is tracked in head AND the file tracked in head is related to the original file. Note that the only difference between the original goal and the corrected goal is the two extra conditions added at the end. The first condition is relevant in a rename/delete conflict. If the file was deleted on the HEAD side of the merge and an untracked file of the same name was added to the working copy, then without that extra condition the untracked file will be erroneously deleted. This changes <expression> to "renamed_stage == 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)". The second additional condition is relevant in two cases. The first case the second condition can occur is when a file is deleted and a completely different file is added with the same name. To my knowledge, merge-recursive has no mechanism for detecting deleted-and- replaced-by-different-file cases, so I am simply punting on this possibility. The second case for the second condition to occur is when there is a rename/rename/add-source conflict. That is, when the original file was renamed on both sides of history AND the original filename is being re-used by some unrelated (but tracked) content. This case also presents some additional difficulties for us since we cannot currently detect these rename/rename/add-source conflicts; as long as the rename detection logic "optimizes" by ignoring filenames that are present at both ends of the diff, these conflicts will go unnoticed. However, rename/rename conflicts are handled by an entirely separate codepath not being discussed here, so this case is not relevant for the line of code under consideration. In summary: Change <expression> from "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" to "renamed_stage == 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)", in order to remove unnecessary code and avoid deleting untracked files. 96 lines of explanation in the changelog to describe a one-line fix...

Instead of having the process_renames logic update the stages in the index for the rename destination, have the index updated after process_entry or process_df_entry. This will also allow us to have process_entry determine whether a file was tracked and existed in the working copy before the merge started.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Allow make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entriesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-4/+22
If there were several files conflicting below a directory corresponding to a D/F conflict, and the file of that D/F conflict is in the way, we want it to be removed. Since files of D/F conflicts are handled last, they can be reinstated later and possibly with a new unique name.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Split was_tracked() out of would_lose_untracked()Libravatar Elijah Newren1-3/+8
Checking whether a filename was part of stage 0 or stage 2 is code that we would like to be able to call from a few other places without also lstat()-ing the file to see if it exists in the working copy.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Save D/F conflict filenames instead of unlinking themLibravatar Elijah Newren1-16/+24
Rename make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() to record_df_conflict_files() to reflect the change in functionality. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix code checking for D/F conflicts still being presentLibravatar Elijah Newren1-15/+34
Previously, we were using lstat() to determine if a directory was still present after a merge (and thus in the way of adding a file). We should have been using lstat() only to determine if untracked directories were in the way (and then only when necessary to check for untracked directories); we should instead using the index to determine if there is a tracked directory in the way. Create a new function to do this and use it to replace the existing checks for directories being in the way.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix sorting order and directory change assumptionsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-5/+35
We cannot assume that directory/file conflicts will appear in sorted order; for example, 'letters.txt' comes between 'letters' and 'letters/file'. Thanks to Johannes for a pointer about qsort stability issues with Windows and suggested code change.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix recursive case with D/F conflict via add/add conflictLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+2
When a D/F conflict is introduced via an add/add conflict, when o->call_depth > 0 we need to ensure that the higher stage entry from the base stage is removed. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-14merge-recursive: Avoid working directory changes during recursive caseLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+7
make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is about making sure necessary working directory changes can succeed. When o->call_depth > 0 (i.e. the recursive case), we do not want to make any working directory changes so this function should be skipped. Note that make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is broken as has been pointed out by Junio; it should NOT be unlinking files. What it should do is keep track of files that could be unlinked if a directory later needs to be written in their place. However, that work also is only relevant in the non-recursive case, so this change is helpful either way.
