This reverts commit e4bb62fa1e, reversing
changes made to 468165c1d8.
The topic appears to inflict severe regression in renaming merges,
even though the promise of it was that it would improve them.
We do not yet know which exact change in the topic was wrong, but in
the meantime, let's play it safe and revert it out of 'master'
before real Git-using projects are harmed.

This fixes an issue that existed before my directory rename detection
patches that affects both normal renames and renames implied by
directory rename detection. Additional codepaths that only affect
overwriting of dirty files that are involved in directory rename
detection will be added in a subsequent commit.

t3501 had a testcase originally added in 05f2dfb965 (cherry-pick:
demonstrate a segmentation fault, 2016-11-26) to ensure cherry-pick
wouldn't segfault when working with a dirty file involved in a rename.
While the segfault was fixed, there was another problem this test
demonstrated: namely, that git would overwrite a dirty file involved in a
rename. Further, the test encoded a "successful merge" and overwriting of
this file as correct behavior. Modify the test so that it would still
catch the segfault, but to require the correct behavior. Mark it as
test_expect_failure for now too, since this second bug is not yet fixed.
t7607 had a test added in 30fd3a5425 (merge overwrites unstaged changes in
renamed file, 2012-04-15) specific to looking for a merge overwriting a
dirty file involved in a rename, but it too actually encoded what I would
term incorrect behavior: it expected the merge to succeed. Fix that, and
add a few more checks to make sure that the merge really does produce the
expected results.

Use functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep to successfully pass tests
running under GETTEXT_POISON.
The output strings compared to in these test were marked for translation
in ed47fdf ("i18n: unpack-trees: mark strings for translation",
2016-04-09) and later improved in 2e3926b ("i18n: unpack-trees: avoid

There are many instances where the treatment of symbolic links in the
object model and the algorithms are tested, but where it is not
necessary to actually have a symbolic link in the worktree. Make
adjustments to the tests and remove the SYMLINKS prerequisite when
appropriate in trivial cases, where "trivial" means:
- merely a replacement of 'ln -s a b && git add b' by test_ln_s_add
is needed;
- a test for symbolic link on the file system can be split off (and
remains protected by SYMLINKS);
- existing code is equivalent to test_ln_s_add.

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.

This file ends up conflicting with the test just after it
(causing the "git merge" to fail). Neither test is to blame
for the bug, though. It looks like the merge in 1a9fe45
(Merge branch 'tr/merge-unborn-clobber', 2011-02-09) is what
caused the conflict.
We didn't notice because the follow-on test is already
marked as expect_failure (even though it has since been
fixed, and now succeeds once the untracked file is moved out
of the way).

do not overwrite files in leading path

An aborted merge prints the list of rejected paths as part of the
error message. Since commit f66caaf9 (do not overwrite files in
leading path), some of those paths do not have static buffers, so
we have to keep a copy. Use string_list's to accomplish this.
This changes the order of the list to the order in which the paths
are processed. Previously, it was reversed.

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.

If the work tree contains an untracked file x, and
unpack-trees wants to checkout a path x/*, the
file x is removed unconditionally.
Instead, apply the same checks that are normally
used for untracked files, and abort if the file
cannot be removed.

Use the test_commit and test_path_is_missing
functions from the test library.
Also make sure that a merge which fails due to
pre-merge checks aborts properly and does not
leave MERGE_HEAD behind.
The "will not overwrite removed file" test is an
exception to this. It notices the untracked file
at a stage where the merge is already well under
way. Therefore we cannot abort the merge without
major restructuring. See the following thread for
more details.

Running git-merge on an unborn branch is supposed to do an index-level
merge with the other side, and then update the branch name there. In
the common case where the index was empty at the start, this makes
'git pull otherrepo branch' a convenient way to populate the history
after 'git init'.
However, if the index was *not* empty, git-merge silently discards
*both index and worktree* copies of all files that were tracked,
leading to data loss. Exhibit this bug.

When merge-recursive wanted to create a new file in the work tree (either
as the final result, or a hint for reference purposes while delete/modify
conflicts), it unconditionally overwrote an untracked file in the working
tree. Be careful not to lose whatever the user has that is not tracked.

If a file was removed in HEAD, but modified in MERGE_HEAD, recursive merge
will result in a "CONFLICT (delete/modify)". If the (now untracked) file
already exists and was not added to the index, it is overwritten with the
conflict resolution contents.
In similar situations (cf. test 2), the merge would abort with
"error: Untracked working tree 'file' would be overwritten by merge."
The same should happen in this case.
