When a commit moves A to B while another commit created B (or moved C to
B), and these two different commits serve as different merge-bases for a
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.

process_renames() and process_entry() have nearly identical code for
doing three-way file merging to resolve content changes. Since we are
already deferring some of the current rename handling in order to better
handle D/F conflicts, it seems to make sense to defer content merging as
well and remove the (nearly) duplicated code sections for handling this
merging.
To facilitate this process, add a new update_stages_and_entry() function
which will map the higher stage index entries from two files involved in a
rename into the resulting rename destination's index entries, and update
the associated stage_data structure.

Since we need to resolve paths (including renames) in-core first and defer
checking of D/F conflicts (namely waiting to see if directories are still
in the way after all paths are resolved) before updating files involved in
D/F conflicts, we will need to first process_renames, then record some
information about the rename needed at D/F resolution time, and then make
use of that information when resolving D/F conflicts at the end.
This commit adds some relevant data structures for storing the necessary
information.

This move is in preparation for merge_content growing and being called from
multiple places in order to handle D/F conflicts.
I also snuck in a small change to the output in the case that the merged
content for the file matches the current file contents, to make it better
match (and thus more able to take over) how other merge_file() calls in
process_renames() are handled.

If merging two lines of development involves a rename/add conflict, and two
different people make such a merge but resolve it differently, and then
someone tries to merge the resulting two merges, then they should clearly
get a conflict due to the different resolutions from the previous
developers. However, in some such cases the conflict would not be detected
and git would silently accept one of the two versions being merged as the
final merge resolution.

Having the source of a rename be involved in a directory/file conflict does
not currently pose any difficulties to the current merge-recursive
algorithm (in contrast to destinations of renames and D/F conflicts).

When merging two branches with some path involved in a D/F conflict, the
choice of which branch to merge into the other matters for (at least) two
reasons: (1) whether the working copy has a directory full of files that
is in the way of a file, or a file exists that is in the way of a
directory of files, (2) when the directory full of files does not disappear
due to the merge, what files at the same paths should be renamed to
(e.g. filename~HEAD vs. filename~otherbranch).
Add some tests that reverse the merge order of two other tests, and which
verify the contents are as expected (namely, that the results are identical
other than modified-for-uniqueness filenames involving branch names).

git blame --textconv is wrongly calling the textconv filter on
symlinks: symlinks are stored as blobs whose content is the target of
the link, and blame calls the textconv filter on a temporary file
filled-in with the content of this blob.
For example:
$ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
fatal: unable to read files to diff
That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to
/tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.
So several failures are demonstrated here:
- git cat-file --textconv :symlink.bin # also HEAD:symlink.bin
- git blame --textconv symlink.bin
- git blame -C -C --textconv regular-file # but also looks on symlink.bin
At present they all fail with something like.
E: /tmp/j3ELEs_symlink.bin is not "binary" file
NOTE: git diff doesn't try to textconv the pathnames, it runs the
textual diff without textconv, which is the expected behavior.

The textconv filter is sometimes incorrectly ran on a temporary file
whose content is the target of a symbolic link, instead of actual file
content. Prepare to test this by marking the content of the file to
convert with "bin:", and let the helper die if "bin:" is not found in
the file content.
NOTE: I've changed $@ to $1 in helper becase textconv program "should
take a single argument" (see Documentation/gitattributes.txt), so
making this more explicit makes sense and also helps to avoid
problems with feeding arguments to echo.

It's a minor annoyance when you take the painstaking time to setup To:
headers for each patch in a large series, and then go out to send the
series with git-send-email and watch git ignore the To: headers in the
patch files.
Therefore, always add To: headers from a patch file to the To: headers
for that message. Keep the prompt for the blanket To: header so as to
not break scripts (and user expectations). This means even if a patch
has a To: header, git will prompt for the To: address. Otherwise, we'll
need to introduce interface breakage to either request the header for
each patch missing a To: header or default the header to whatever To:
address is found first (be it in a patch or from user input). Both of
these options don't seem very obvious/useful.
