The whole point of adding process_df_entry() was to ensure that files of
D/F conflicts were processed after paths under the corresponding
directory. However, given that the entries are in sorted order, all we
need to do is iterate through them in reverse order to achieve the same
effect. That lets us remove some duplicated code, and lets us keep
track of one less thing as we read the code ("do we need to make sure
this is processed before process_df_entry() or do we need to defer it
until then?").

When dealing with file merging and renames and D/F conflicts and possible
criss-cross merges (how's that for a corner case?), we did not do a
thorough job ensuring the index and working directory had the correct
contents. Fix the logic in merge_content() to handle this. Also,
correct some erroneous tests in t6022 that were expecting the wrong number
of unmerged index entries. These changes fix one of the tests in t6042
(and almost fix another one from t6042 as well).

The code for rename_rename_2to1 conflicts (two files both being renamed to
the same filename) was dead since the rename/add path was always being
independently triggered for each of the renames instead. Further,
reviving the dead code showed that it was inherently buggy and would
always segfault -- among a few other bugs.
Move the else-if branch for the rename/rename block before the rename/add
block to make sure it is checked first, and fix up the rename/rename(2to1)
code segments to make it handle most cases. Work is still needed to
handle higher dimensional corner cases such as rename/rename/modify/modify
issues.

In the recursive case (o->call_depth > 0), we do not modify the working
directory. However, when o->call_depth==0, file renames can mean we need
to delete the old filename from the working copy. Since there have been
lots of changes and mistakes here, let's go through the details. Let's
start with a simple explanation of what we are trying to achieve:
Original goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged
into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be
removed from the working directory.
The path to getting the above statement implemented in merge-recursive took
several steps. The relevant bits of code may be instructive to keep in
mind for the explanation, especially since an English-only description
involves double negatives that are hard to follow. These bits of code are:
int remove_file(..., const char *path, int no_wd)
{
...
int update_working_directory = !o->call_depth && !no_wd;
and
remove_file(o, 1, ren1_src, <expression>);
Where the choice for <expression> has morphed over time:
65ac6e9 (merge-recursive: adjust to loosened "working file clobbered"
check 2006-10-27), introduced the "no_wd" parameter to remove_file() and
used "1" for <expression>. This meant ren1_src was never deleted, leaving
it around in the working copy.
In 8371234 (Remove uncontested renamed files during merge. 2006-12-13),
<expression> was changed to "index_only" (where index_only ==
!!o->call_depth; see b7fa51da). This was equivalent to using "0" for
<expression> (due to the early logic in remove_file), and is orthogonal to
the condition we actually want to check at this point; it resulted in the
source file being removed except when index_only was false. This was
problematic because the file could have been renamed on the side of history
including head, in which case ren1_src could correspond to an untracked
file that should not be deleted.
In 183d797 (Keep untracked files not involved in a merge. 2007-02-04),
<expression> was changed to "index_only || stage == 3". While this gives
correct behavior, the "index_only ||" portion of <expression> is
unnecessary and makes the code slightly harder to follow.
There were also two further changes to this expression, though without
any change in behavior. First in b7fa51d (merge-recursive: get rid of the
index_only global variable 2008-09-02), it was changed to "o->call_depth
|| stage == 3". (index_only == !!o->call_depth). Later, in 41d70bd6
(merge-recursive: Small code clarification -- variable name and comments),
this was changed to "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" (where stage was
renamed to other_stage and renamed_stage == other_stage ^ 1).
So we ended with <expression> being "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2".
But the "o->call_depth ||" piece was unnecessary. We can remove it,
leaving us with <expression> being "renamed_stage == 2". This doesn't
change behavior at all, but it makes the code clearer. Which is good,
because it's about to get uglier.
Corrected goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged
into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be
removed from the working directory *IF* that file is tracked in head AND
the file tracked in head is related to the original file.
Note that the only difference between the original goal and the corrected
goal is the two extra conditions added at the end. The first condition is
relevant in a rename/delete conflict. If the file was deleted on the
HEAD side of the merge and an untracked file of the same name was added to
the working copy, then without that extra condition the untracked file
will be erroneously deleted. This changes <expression> to "renamed_stage
== 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)".
The second additional condition is relevant in two cases.
The first case the second condition can occur is when a file is deleted
and a completely different file is added with the same name. To my
knowledge, merge-recursive has no mechanism for detecting deleted-and-
replaced-by-different-file cases, so I am simply punting on this
possibility.
The second case for the second condition to occur is when there is a
rename/rename/add-source conflict. That is, when the original file was
renamed on both sides of history AND the original filename is being
re-used by some unrelated (but tracked) content. This case also presents
some additional difficulties for us since we cannot currently detect these
rename/rename/add-source conflicts; as long as the rename detection logic
"optimizes" by ignoring filenames that are present at both ends of the
diff, these conflicts will go unnoticed. However, rename/rename conflicts
are handled by an entirely separate codepath not being discussed here, so
this case is not relevant for the line of code under consideration.
In summary:
Change <expression> from "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" to
"renamed_stage == 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)", in order to remove
unnecessary code and avoid deleting untracked files.

Previously, we were using lstat() to determine if a directory was still
present after a merge (and thus in the way of adding a file). We should
have been using lstat() only to determine if untracked directories were in
the way (and then only when necessary to check for untracked directories);
we should instead using the index to determine if there is a tracked
directory in the way. Create a new function to do this and use it to
replace the existing checks for directories being in the way.

make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is about making sure necessary
working directory changes can succeed. When o->call_depth > 0 (i.e. the
recursive case), we do not want to make any working directory changes so
this function should be skipped.
Note that make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is broken as has
been pointed out by Junio; it should NOT be unlinking files. What it
should do is keep track of files that could be unlinked if a directory
later needs to be written in their place. However, that work also is only

In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20),
there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in
the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the
current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts
that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first
updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual
merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function
that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging
code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping
the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently
high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy
anyway.
When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working
copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating
the working copy.

In a variable-args function, the code for writing into a strbuf is

1. Average processors are faster now.
2. We've seen on the mailing list some ugly merges where
not using inexact rename detection leads to many more
conflicts. Merges of this size take a long time
anyway, so users are probably happy to spend a little

The code had several places where individual checks were done to remove

When a commit moves A to B while another commit created B (or moved C to

later merge, c94736a (merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling
rename clashes 2009-07-30) added some special code to avoid segfaults.
Since that commit, the two versions of B are merged in place (which could
be potentially conflicting) and the intermediate result is used as the
virtual ancestor.
However, right before this special merge, try_merge was turned on, meaning
that process_renames() would try an alternative merge that ignores the
'add' part of the conflict, and, if the merge is clean, store that as the
new virtual ancestor. This could cause incorrect merging of criss-cross
merges; it would typically result in just recording a slightly confusing
merge base, but in some cases it could cause silent acceptance of one side
of a merge as the final resolution when a conflict should have been
flagged.
When we do a special merge for such a rename/add conflict between
merge-bases, turn try_merge off to avoid an inappropriate second merge.

In merge-recursive.c, whenever there was a rename where a file name on one
side of the rename matches a directory name on the other side of the merge,
then the very first check that
string_list_has_string(&o->current_directory_set, ren1_dst)
would trigger forcing it into marking it as a rename/directory conflict.
However, if the path is only renamed on one side and a simple three-way
merge between the separate files resolves cleanly, then we don't need to
mark it as a rename/directory conflict. So, we can simply move the check
for rename/directory conflicts after we've verified that there isn't a
rename/rename conflict and that a threeway content merge doesn't work.
This changes the particular error message one gets in the case where the
directory name that a file on one side of the rename matches is not also
part of the rename pair. For example, with commits containing the files:
COMMON -> (HEAD, MERGE )
--------- --------------- -------
sub/file1 -> (sub/file1, newsub)
<NULL> -> (newsub/newfile, <NULL>)
then previously when one tried to merge MERGE into HEAD, one would get
CONFLICT (rename/directory): Rename sub/file1->newsub in HEAD directory newsub added in merge
Renaming sub/file1 to newsub~HEAD instead
Adding newsub/newfile
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
After this patch, the error message will instead become:
Removing newsub
Adding newsub/newfile
CONFLICT (file/directory): There is a directory with name newsub in merge. Adding newsub as newsub~HEAD
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
That makes more sense to me, because git can't know that there's a conflict
until after it's tried resolving paths involving newsub/newfile to see if
they are still in the way at the end (and if newsub/newfile is not in the
way at the end, there should be no conflict at all, which did not hold with
git previously).

as a strategy-option, so that you can do:

CRLFs for inserted lines).

making process_renames() consider as unprocessed renames whose dst_entry
"still" had higher stage entries. The assumption was that those higher
stage entries would have been cleared out of dst_entry by that point in
cases where the conflict could be resolved (normal renames with no D/F
conflicts). That is not the case -- higher stage entries will remain in
all cases.
Fix this by checking for higher stage entries corresponding to D/F
conflicts, namely that stages 2 and 3 have exactly one nonzero mode between
them. The nonzero mode stage corresponds to a file at the path, while the
stage with a zero mode will correspond to a directory at that path (since
rename/delete conflicts will have already been handled before this codepath

(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

The D/F conflicts that can be automatically resolved (file or directory
unmodified on one side of history), have the nice property that
process_entry() can correctly handle all subpaths of the D/F conflict. In
the case of D->F conversions, it will correctly delete all non-conflicting
files below the relevant directory and the directory itself (note that both
untracked and conflicting files below the directory will prevent its
removal). So if we handle D/F conflicts after all other conflicts, they
become fairly simple to handle -- we just need to check for whether or not
a path (file/directory) is in the way of creating the new content. We do
this by having process_entry() defer handling such entries to a subsequent
process_df_entry() step.

This implements a simple merge strategy for submodule hashes. We check
whether one side of the merge candidates is already contained in the
other and then merge automatically.
If both sides contain changes we search for a merge in the submodule.
In case a single one exists we check that out and suggest it as the
merge resolution. A list of candidates is returned when we find multiple
merges that contain both sides of the changes.
This is useful for a workflow in which the developers can publish topic
branches in submodules and a separate maintainer merges them. In case
the developers always wait until their branch gets merged before tracking
them in the superproject all merges of branches that contain submodule
changes will be resolved automatically. If developers choose to track
their feature branch the maintainer might get a conflict but git will
search the submodule for a merge and suggest it/them as a resolution.

start a merge from a dirty work tree. The saddest part is that the merge
refused to run to prevent _any_ damage from being done to your work tree
when these messages are given, but the messages look a lot more scarier
than the conflicted case where the user needs to resolve them.
Replace the plumbing level messages so that they talk about what it is
protecting the user from, and end the messages with "Aborting." so that it
becomes clear that the command did not do any harm.
The final "merging of trees failed" message is superfluous, unless you are
interested in debugging the merge-recursive itself. Squelch the current
die() message by default, but allow it to help people who debug git with
verbosity level 4 or greater.
Unless there is some bug, an inner merge that does not touch working tree
should not trigger any such error, so emit the current die() message when
we see an error return from it while running the inner merge, too. It
would also help people who debug git.
We could later add instructions on how to recover (i.e. "stash changes
away or commit on a side branch and retry") instead of the silent
exit(128) I have in this patch, and then use Peff's advice.* mechanism to
squelch it (e.g. "advice.mergeindirtytree"), but they are separate topics.

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.

* tr/die_errno:
Use die_errno() instead of die() when checking syscalls
Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()
die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case
Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()
Put filenames into the conflict markers only when they are different.
Otherwise they are redundant information clutter.
Print the filename explicitely when warning about a binary conflict.

Change calls to die(..., strerror(errno)) to use the new die_errno().
In the process, also make slight style adjustments: at least state
_something_ about the function that failed (instead of just printing
the pathname), and put paths in single quotes.

There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:
- warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
historical accident and not very pretty.
A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
I didn't touch those.
- warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?
Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.
A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
be made static.
That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

When you are trying to come up with the final result (i.e. depth=0), you
want to record how the conflict arose by registering the state of the
common ancestor, your branch and the other branch in the index, hence you
want to do update_stages().
When you are merging with positive depth, that is because of a criss-cross
merge situation. In such a case, you would need to record the tentative
result, with conflict markers and all, as if the merge went cleanly, even
if there are conflicts, in order to write it out as a tree object later to
be used as a common ancestor tree.
update_file() calls update_file_flags() with update_cache=1 to signal that
the result needs to be written to the index at stage #0 (i.e. merged), and
the code should not clobber the index further by calling update_stages().
The codepath to deal with rename/delete conflict in a recursive merge
however left the index unmerged.

When merging merge bases during a recursive merge we do not want to
leave any unmerged entries. Otherwise we cannot create a temporary
tree for the recursive merge to work with.
We failed to do so in case of a submodule conflict between merge
bases, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the next step of the
recursive merge.

When the callback function invoked from read_tree_recursive() returns
the value `READ_TREE_RECURSIVE` for a gitlink entry, the traversal will
now continue into the tree connected to the gitlinked commit. This
functionality can be used to allow inter-repository operations, but
since the current users of read_tree_recursive() does not yet support
such operations, they have been modified where necessary to make sure
that they never return READ_TREE_RECURSIVE for gitlink entries (hence
no change in behaviour should be introduces by this patch alone).

Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local

using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
