When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.
This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.
In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:
- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.
In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.
FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.
The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description
- Sverre Rabbelier: Rename --reset to --abort

Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.
The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.
The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.
The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.
