The primary use of conflict markers is to help the user who resolves
the final (outer) merge by hand to show which part came from which
branch by separating the blocks of lines apart. When the conflicted
parts from a "virtual ancestor" merge created by merge-recursive
remains in the common ancestor part in the final result, however,
the conflict markers that are the same size as the final merge
become harder to see.
Increase the conflict marker size slightly for these inner merges so
that the markers from the final merge and cruft from internal merge
can be distinguished more easily.
This would help reduce the common issue that prevents "rerere" from
being used on a really complex conflict.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

Put filenames into the conflict markers only when they are different.
Otherwise they are redundant information clutter.

When a file was renamed in one branch, but deleted in the other, one
should expect the index to contain an unmerged entry, namely the
target of the rename. Make it so.

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Now that "git diff" handles stdin and relative paths outside the
working tree correctly, we can convert all instances of "diff -u"
to "git diff".
This commit is really the result of

Displaying the SHA1 of 'their' branch (the branch being merged into
the current branch) is not nearly as friendly as just displaying
the name of that branch, especially if that branch is already local
to this repository.
git-merge now sets the environment variable 'GITHEAD_%(sha1)=%(name)'
for each argument it gets passed, making the actual input name that
resolved to the commit '%(sha1)' easily available to the invoked
merge strategy.
git-merge-recursive makes use of these environment variables when
they are available by using '%(name)' whenever it outputs the commit
identification rather than '%(sha1)'. This is most obvious in the
conflict hunks created by xdl_merge:
$ git mege sideb~1
<<<<<<< HEAD:INSTALL
Good!
=======
Oops.
>>>>>>> sideb~1:INSTALL
