Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,
2012-01-10), git-merge only started an editor if the user explicitly
asked for it with --edit. Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.
After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor. Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.
The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose. However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches. So we may as well take another step in the same direction.

Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.
After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.
Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).
There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.
Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.
The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()
branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);
Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

Ignored files usually are generated files (e.g. .o files) and can be
safely discarded. However sometimes users may have important files in
working directory, but still want a clean "git status", so they mark
them as ignored files. But in this case, these files should not be
overwritten without asking first.
Enable this use case with --no-overwrite-ignore, where git only sees
tracked and untracked files, no ignored files. Those who mix

'git merge' can be called without any arguments if merge.defaultToUpstream

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.
Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:
- The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
with an option.
- Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).
- The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
block would look like.
- When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.
A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate
the commit objects given from the command line, i.e. the remote heads to
be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace
messages and conflict markers.
Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to
a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add
more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a
field "obj" in this struct, so that we can recover the tag we were told to

All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:
1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).
2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.
This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we

decision closer to the point of use.
This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.
Let's clean this up in a few ways:
1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
functions, since we were just passing around the
context values separately.
2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
was passed around separately. That's one less argument
per function.
3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
calling a little more uniform.
This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

When we merge into an unborn branch, there are basically two
steps:
1. Write the sha1 of the new commit into the ref pointed
to by HEAD.
2. Update the index with the new content, and check it out
to the working tree.
We currently do them in this order. However, (2) is the step
that is much more likely to fail, since it can be blocked by
things like untracked working tree files. When it does, the
merge fails and we are left with an empty index but an
updated HEAD.
This patch switches the order, so that a failure in updating
the index leaves us unchanged. Of course, a failure in
updating the ref now leaves us with an updated index and
mis-matched HEAD. That is arguably not much better, but it
is probably less likely to actually happen.

CodingGuidelines: downcase placeholders in usage messages
When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises:
$ git commit -c <original commit id>
to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's
record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise:
$ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part.
Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from
revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit
is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit
and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new
--progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2).
This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory
we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none
of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until
they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating
it.

When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the
subsequent commit calls the prepare-commit-msg hook. However,
it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency
by invoking the hook after clean merges as well.

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:
$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit
Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.
While at it, document the existing support for --strategy.

Teach 'git merge' the --abort option, which verifies the existence of
MERGE_HEAD and then invokes 'git reset --merge' to abort the current
in-progress merge and attempt to reconstruct the pre-merge state.
The reason for adding this option is to provide a user interface for
aborting an in-progress merge that is consistent with the interface
for aborting a rebase ('git rebase --abort'), aborting the application
of a patch series ('git am --abort'), and aborting an in-progress notes
merge ('git notes merge --abort').
The patch includes documentation and testcases that explain and verify
the various scenarios in which 'git merge --abort' can run. The
testcases also document the cases in which 'git merge --abort' is
unable to correctly restore the pre-merge state (look for the '###'
comments towards the bottom of t/t7609-merge-abort.sh).

Reorder the initial part of builtin/merge.c:cmd_merge() so that command-line
options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD
(and exits if it exists). This does not change the behaviour of 'git merge',
but is needed in preparation for the implementation of 'git merge --abort'
(which requires MERGE_HEAD to be present).

In case HEAD does not point to a valid commit yet, merge is
implemented as a hard reset. This will cause untracked files to be
overwritten.
Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An
untracked file will cause the merge to abort and do nothing. If no
conflicting files are present, the merge will have the same effect
as a hard reset.

(Just like we did for documentation already)
In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the
refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch".
The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this
case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")).
Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by
merge an fmt-merge-msg).

Give "shortlog_len" parameter to the fmt_merge_msg(), remove its
"merge_summary" parameter, and remove fmt_merge_msg_shortlog() function.
In the updated API, shortlog_len == 0 means no shortlog is given.
The parameter "merge_title" controls if the title of the merge commit is
autogenerated (it reads something like "Merge branch ..."), and typically
it is set to true when the caller does not give its own message.

Not only this makes the code clearer since setting up the porcelain error
message is meant to work with show_all_errors, but this fixes a call to
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() in git_merge_trees() which did not set
show_all_errors.
add_rejected_path() used to double-check whether it was running in
plumbing mode. This check was ineffective since it was setting
show_all_errors too late for traverse_trees() to see it, and is made
useless by this patch. Remove it.
