Ever since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive.,
2007-01-14), we had a problem: When the merge failed in a fatal way, all
regular output was swallowed because we called die() and did not get a
chance to drain the output buffers.
To fix this, several modifications were necessary:
- we needed to stop die()ing, to give callers a chance to do something
when an error occurred (in this case, flush the output buffers),
- we needed to delay printing the error message so that the caller can
print the buffered output before that, and
- we needed to make sure that the output buffers are flushed even when
the return value indicates an error.
The first two changes were introduced through earlier commits in this
patch series, and this commit addresses the third one.

The recursive merge machinery accumulates its output in an output
buffer, to be flushed at the end of merge_recursive(). At this point,
we forgot to release the output buffer.
When calling merge_trees() (i.e. the non-recursive part of the recursive
merge) directly, the output buffer is never flushed because the caller
may be merge_recursive() which wants to flush the output itself.
For the same reason, merge_trees() cannot release the output buffer: it
may still be needed.
Forgetting to release the output buffer did not matter much when running
git-checkout, or git-merge-recursive, because we exited after the
operation anyway. Ever since cherry-pick learned to pick a commit range,
however, this memory leak had the potential of becoming a problem.

Since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14),
we already accumulate the output in a buffer. The idea was to avoid
interfering with the progress output that goes to stderr, which is
unbuffered, when we write to stdout, which is buffered.
We extend that buffering to allow the caller to handle the output
(possibly suppressing it). This will help us when extending the
sequencer to do rebase -i's brunt work: it does not want the picks to
print anything by default but instead determine itself whether to print
the output or not.
Note that we also redirect the error messages into the output buffer
when the caller asked not to flush the output buffer, for two reasons:
1) to retain the correct output order, and 2) to allow the caller to
suppress *all* output.

In 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14), we
changed the code such that it prints the output in one go, to avoid
interfering with the progress output.
Let's make sure that the same holds true when outputting the commit
title: previously, we used several printf() statements to stdout and
assumed that stdout's buffer is large enough to hold the entire
commit title.
Apart from making that speculation unnecessary, we change the code to
add the message to the output buffer before flushing for another reason:
the next commit will introduce a new level of output buffering, where
the caller can request the output not to be flushed, but to be retained
for further processing.
This latter feature will be needed when teaching the sequencer to do
rebase -i's brunt work: it wants to control the output of the
cherry-picks (i.e. recursive merges).

The data structure passed to the recursive merge machinery has a feature
where the caller can ask for the output to be buffered into a strbuf, by
setting the field 'buffer_output'.
Previously, we died without flushing, losing accumulated output. With
this patch, we show the output first, and only then print the error
message.
Currently, the only user of that buffering is merge_recursive() itself,
to avoid the progress output to interfere.
In the next patches, we will introduce a new buffer_output mode that
forces merge_recursive() to retain the output buffer for further
processing by the caller. If the caller asked for that, we will then
also write the error messages into the output buffer. This is necessary
to give the caller more control not only how to react in case of errors
but also control how/if to display the error messages.

The recursive merge machinery is supposed to be a library function, i.e.
it should return an error when it fails. Originally the functions were
part of the builtin "merge-recursive", though, where it was simpler to
call die() and be done with error handling.
The existing callers were already prepared to detect negative return
values to indicate errors and to behave as previously: exit with code 128
(which is the same thing that die() does, after printing the message).

We are about to libify the recursive merge machinery, where we only
die() in case of a bug or memory contention. To that end, we must heed
negative return values as indicating errors.
This requires our functions to be careful to pass through error
conditions in call chains, and for quite a few functions this means
that they have to return values to begin with.
The next step will be to convert the places where we currently die() to
return negative values (read: -1) instead.
Note that we ignore errors reported by make_room_for_path(), consistent
with the previous behavior (update_file_flags() used the return value of
make_room_for_path() only to indicate an early return, but not a fatal
error): if the error is really a fatal error, we will notice later; If
not, it was not that serious a problem to begin with. (Witnesses in
favor of this reasoning are t4151-am-abort and t7610-mergetool, which
would start failing if we stopped on errors reported by
make_room_for_path()).
Also note: while this patch makes the code slightly less readable in
update_file_flags() (we introduce a new "goto free_buf;" instead of
an explicit "free(buf); return;"), it is a preparatory change for
the next patch where we will convert all of the die() calls in the same
function to go through the free_buf return path instead.

It is technically allowed, as per C89, for functions' return type to
be complete structs (i.e. *not* just pointers to structs).
However, it was just an oversight of this developer when converting
Python code to C code in 6d297f8 (Status update on merge-recursive in
C, 2006-07-08) which introduced such a return type.
Besides, by converting this construct to pass in the struct, we can now
start returning a value that can indicate errors in future patches. This
will help the current effort to libify merge-recursive.c.

It can be puzzling to see that was_tracked() asks to get an index entry
by name, but does not take a negative return value for an answer.
The reason we have to do this is that cache_name_pos() only looks for
entries in stage 0, even if nobody asked for any stage in particular.
Let's rewrite the logic a little bit, to handle the easy case early: if
cache_name_pos() returned a non-negative position, we know it is a match,
and we do not even have to compare the name again (cache_name_pos() did
that for us already). We can say right away: yes, this file was tracked.
Only if there was no exact match do we need to look harder for any
matching entry in stage 2.

While working on the patch series that avoids die()ing in recursive
merges, the issue came up that bug reports (i.e. die("BUG: ...")
constructs) should never be translated, as the target audience is the
Git developer community, not necessarily the current user, and hence
a translated message would make it *harder* to address the problem.
So let's stop translating the obvious ones. As it is really, really
outside the purview of this patch series to see whether there are more
die() statements that report bugs and are currently translated, that
task is left for another day and patch.

"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.
* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf:
merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF
When merge_recursive() decides what the correct blob object merge
result for a path should be, it uses update_file_flags() helper
function to write it out to a working tree file and then calls
add_cacheinfo(). The add_cacheinfo() function in turn calls
make_cache_entry() to create a new cache entry to replace the
higher-stage entries for the path that represents the conflict.
The make_cache_entry() function calls refresh_cache_entry() to fill
in the cached stat information. To mark a cache entry as
up-to-date, the data is re-read from the file in the working tree,
and goes through convert_to_git() conversion to be compared with the
blob object name the new cache entry records.
It is important to note that this happens while the higher-stage
entries, which are going to be replaced with the new entry, are
still in the index. Unfortunately, the convert_to_git() conversion
has a misguided "safer crlf" mechanism baked in, and looks at the
existing cache entry for the path to decide how to convert the
contents in the working tree file. If our side (i.e. stage#2)
records a text blob with CRLF in it, even when the system is
configured to record LF in blobs and convert them to CRLF upon
checkout (and back to LF upon checkin), the "safer crlf" mechanism
stops us doing so.
This especially poses a problem during a renormalizing merge, where
the merge result for the path is computed by first "normalizing" the
blobs involved in the merge by using convert_to_working_tree()
followed by convert_to_git() with "safer crlf" disabled. The merge
result that is computed correctly and fed to add_cacheinfo() via
update_file_flags() does _not_ match what refresh_cache_entry() sees
by converting the working tree file via convert_to_git().
We can work this around by not refreshing the new cache entry in
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo(). After add_cacheinfo()
adds the new entry, we can call refresh_cache_entry() on that,
knowing that addition of this new cache entry would have removed the
stale cache entries that had CRLF in stage #2 that were carried over
before the renormalizing merge started and will not interfere with
the correct recording of the result.
The test update was taken from a series by Torsten Bögershausen
that attempted to fix this with a different approach.

There were a few cases in merge-recursive that could result in a
check for the presence of files in the working copy while trying to
create a virtual merge base. These were rare and innocuous, but
somewhat illogical. The two cases were:
* When there was naming conflicts (e.g. a D/F conflict) and we had to
pick a new unique name for a file. Since the new name is somewhat
arbitrary, it didn't matter that we consulted the working copy to
avoid picking a filename it has, but since the virtual merge base is
never checked out, it's a waste of time and slightly odd to do so.
* When two different files get renamed to the same name (on opposite
sides of the merge), we needed to delete the original filenames from
the cache and possibly also the working directory. The caller's check
for determining whether to delete from the working directory was a
call to would_lose_untracked(). It turns out this didn't matter
because remove_file() had logic to avoid modifying the working
directory when creating a virtual merge base, but there is no reason
for the caller to check the working directory in such circumstances.
It's a waste of time, if not also a bit weird.
