Four closely related changes all with the purpose of fixing error handling
in this function:
- fix reported function name in add_cacheinfo error messages
- differentiate between the two error messages
- abort early when we hit the error (stop ignoring return code)
- mark a test which was hitting this error as failing until we get the
right fix
In more detail...
In commit 0424138d57 ("Fix bogus error message from merge-recursive
error path", 2007-04-01), it was noted that the name of the function which
the error message claimed it was reported from did not match the actual
function name. This was changed to something closer to the real function
name, but it still didn't match the actual function name. Fix the
reported name to match.
Second, the two errors in this function had identical messages, preventing
us from knowing which error had been triggered. Add a couple words to the
second error message to differentiate the two.
Next, make sure callers do not ignore the return code so that it will stop
processing further entries (processing further entries could result in
more output which could cause the error to scroll off the screen, or at
least be missed by the user) and make it clear the error is the cause of
the early abort. These errors should never be triggered in production; if
either one is, it represents a bug in the calling path somewhere and is
likely to have resulted in mis-merged content. The combination of
ignoring of the return code and continuing to print other standard
messages after hitting the error resulted in the following bug report from
Junio: "...the command pretends that everything went well and merged
cleanly in that path...[Behaving] in a buggy and unexplainable way is bad
enough, doing so silently is unexcusable." Fix this.
Finally, there was one test in the testsuite that did hit this error path,
but was passing anyway. This would have been easy to miss since it had a
test_must_fail and thus could have failed for the wrong reason, but in a
separate testing step I added an intentional NULL-dereference to the
codepath where these error messages are printed in order to flush out such
cases. I could modify that test to explicitly check for this error and
fail the test if it is hit, but since this test operates in a bit of a
gray area and needed other changes, I went for a different fix. The gray
area this test operates in is the following: If the merge of a certain
file results in the same version of the file that existed in HEAD, but
there are dirty modifications to the file, is that an error with a
"Refusing to overwrite existing file" expected, or a case where the merge
should succeed since we shouldn't have to touch the dirty file anyway?
Recent discussion on the list leaned towards saying it should be a
success. Therefore, change the expected behavior of this test to match.
As a side effect, this makes the failed-due-to-hitting-add_cacheinfo-error
very clear, and we can mark the test as test_expect_failure. A subsequent
commit will implement the necessary changes to get this test to pass
again.

If a file on one side of history was renamed, and merely modified on the
other side, then applying a directory rename to the modified side gives us
a rename/rename(1to2) conflict. We should only apply directory renames to
pairs representing either adds or renames.
Making this change means that a directory rename testcase that was
previously reported as a rename/delete conflict will now be reported as a
modify/delete conflict.

Also add a pair of testcases dealing with moving directory hierarchies
around that were suggested by Stefan Beller as "food for thought" during
his review of an earlier patch series, but which actually uncovered a

get_renames() would look up stage data that already existed (populated
in get_unmerged(), taken from whatever unpack_trees() created), and if
it didn't exist, would call insert_stage_data() to create the necessary
entry for the given file. The insert_stage_data() fallback becomes
much more important for directory rename detection, because that creates
a mechanism to have a file in the resulting merge that didn't exist on
either side of history. However, insert_stage_data(), due to calling
get_tree_entry() loaded up trees as readily as files. We aren't
interested in comparing trees to files; the D/F conflict handling is
done elsewhere. This code is just concerned with what entries existed
for a given path on the different sides of the merge, so create a
get_tree_entry_if_blob() helper function and use it.

This populates a set of directory renames for us. The set of directory
renames is not yet used, but will be in subsequent commits.
Note that the use of a string_list for possible_new_dirs in the new
dir_rename_entry struct implies an O(n^2) algorithm; however, in practice
I expect the number of distinct directories that files were renamed into
from a single original directory to be O(1). My guess is that n has a
mode of 1 and a mean of less than 2, so, for now, string_list seems good
enough for possible_new_dirs.

Adding external subcommands to Git is as easy as to put an executable
file git-foo into PATH. Packaging such subcommands for a Linux
distribution can be achieved by unpacking the executable into /usr/bin
of the user's system. Adding system-wide completion scripts for new
subcommands, however, can be a bit tricky.
Since bash-completion started to use dynamical loading of completion
scripts since v1.90 (preview of v2.0), it is no longer sufficient to
drop a completion script of a subcommand into the standard completions
path, /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, since this script will not
be loaded if called as a git subcommand.
For example, look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/544722. To give a short
summary: The popular git-flow subcommand provides a completion script,
which gets installed as /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-flow.
If you now type into a Bash shell:
git flow <TAB>
You will not get any completions, because bash-completion only loads
completions for git and git has no idea that git-flow is defined in
another file. You have to load this script manually or trigger the
dynamic loader with:
git-flow <TAB> # Please notice the dash instead of whitespace
This will not complete anything either, because it only defines a Bash
function, without generating completions. But now the correct completion
script has been loaded and the first command can use the completions.
So, the goal is now to teach the git completion script to consider the
possibility of external completion scripts for subcommands, but of
course without breaking current workflows.
I think the easiest method is to use a function that was defined by
bash-completion v1.90, namely _completion_loader. It will take care of
loading the correct script if present. Afterwards, the git completion
script behaves as usual.
_completion_loader was introduced in commit 20c05b43 of bash-completion
(https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.git) back in 2011, so it should
be available in even older LTS distributions. This function searches for
external completion scripts not only in the default path
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions, but also in the user's home
directory via $XDG_DATA_HOME and in a user specified directory via
$BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR.
The only "drawback" (if it even can be called as such) is, that if
_completion_loader does not find a completion script, it automatically
registers a minimal function for basic path completion. In practice,
however, this will not matter, because in this case the given command is
a git command in its dashed form, e.g. 'git-diff-index', and those have
been deprecated for a long time.
This way we can leverage bash-completion's dynamic loading for git
subcommands and make it easier for developers to distribute custom
completion scripts.
