2016-04-12t6044: new merge testcases for when index doesn't match HEADLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+153
With one exception, we require the index to exactly match the current HEAD commit at the time git merge is invoked. This expectation was even documented in git-merge.txt until commit ebef7e5 (Documentation: simplify How Merge Works, 2010-01-23). Most merge strategies enforced this requirement, but it turns out not all did. The current exceptions were the following two: * ff updates * octopus merges ff updates actually will error out if the staged change is to a path modified between HEAD and the commit being merged. If the path(s) that are staged are files unrelated to the changes between these two commits, though, then an ff update will just keep these staged changes around after the merge. This is the one exception we expected to the abort-merge-if- index-doesn't-match-HEAD rule. For octopus merges, the rule should be enforced. Unfortunately, the current behavior of the code is to ignore the difference and use the staged changes in place of whatever is in HEAD as it proceeds to perform the merge. So if the staged changes can be cleanly merged with all the other heads, then the staged changes will just be incorported into the resulting commit. If the staged changes cannot be cleanly merged with all the other heads, the merge is not aborted -- merge conflicts are simply reported as if HEAD had originally contained whatever the index did. Add testcases that check our expectations. A subsequent commit will correct the erroneous octopus merge behavior.
