From 40d71940b6a0dadb7873cce614992f1d71fcdfbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elijah Newren Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2016 23:13:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] builtin/merge.c: fix a bug with trivial merges If read_tree_trivial() succeeds and produces a tree that is already in the object store, then the index is not written to disk, leaving it out-of-sync with both HEAD and the working tree. In order to write the index back out to disk after a merge, write_index_locked() needs to be called. For most merge strategies, this is done from try_merge_strategy(). For fast forward updates, this is done from checkout_fast_forward(). When trivial merges work, the call to write_index_locked() is buried a little deeper: merge_trivial() -> write_tree_trivial() -> write_cache_as_tree() -> write_index_as_tree() -> write_locked_index() However, it is only called when !cache_tree_fully_valid(), which is how this bug is triggered. But that also shows why this bug doesn't affect any other merge strategies or cases. Add a direct call to write_index_locked() from merge_trivial() to fix this issue. Since the indirect call to write_locked_index() was conditional on cache_tree_fully_valid(), it won't be written twice.
