d5af510 (RE: [PATCH] Avoid rename/add conflict when contents are identical
2010-09-01) avoided erroring out in a rename/add conflict when the contents
were identical. A simpler fix could have handled that particular testcase,
but it would not correctly handle the case where a symlink is involved.
Add another testcase using symlinks, to avoid breaking that case.

Here's a third attempt with no use of symlinks in the test:
Skip the entire rename/add conflict case if the file added on the
other branch has the same contents as the file being renamed. This
avoids giving the user an extra copy of the same file and presenting a
conflict that is confusing and pointless.
A simple test of this case has been added in
t/t3030-merge-recursive.sh.

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.
As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

When one side of a merge turns a directory into a submodule, and the other
side does not touch that directory (but has other non-conflicting changes),
then a merge should succeed. But currently, it does not; it rather fails
with a file/directory conflict.

Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.
A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.
For commit, the error message used to look like this:
$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees
The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

The following is an easy mistake to make for users coming from version
control systems with an "update and commit"-style workflow.
1. git pull
2. resolve conflicts
3. git pull
Step 3 overrides MERGE_HEAD, starting a new merge with dirty index.
IOW, probably not what the user intended. Instead, refuse to merge
again if a merge is in progress.

The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an
internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index
before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this
failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing
anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either.
These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read
the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of
cmd_merge().
The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never
reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes
from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is
prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the
above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling
write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree.
When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading
the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call
to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they
need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round.
Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the
parents of the resulting commit.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

We have fairly extensive coverage of read-tree 3-way machinery,
and many Porcelain-ish tests use git-merge front-end tests, but
we did not have good basic test for merge-recursive, which made
it very hard to hack on it.
I used this during the recent work to teach D/F conflicts to
merge-recursive.
