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.

the merge does not notice (and the mode change is silently
dropped).
The trivial index merge notices the problem and correctly
leaves the conflict in the index, but both merge-recursive
and merge-one-file will silently resolve this in favor of
the deletion. In many cases that is a sane resolution, but
we should be punting to the user whenever there is any

When merge-recursive creates a unique filename, it uses a
template like:
path~branch_%d
where the final "_%d" is filled by an incrementing counter
until we find a unique name. We allocate 8 characters for
the counter, but there is no logic to limit the size of the
integer.
Of course, this is extremely unlikely, as you would need a
hundred million collisions to trigger the problem. Even if

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

In both blame and merge-recursive, we sometimes create a
"fake" commit struct for convenience (e.g., to represent the
HEAD state as if we would commit it). By allocating
ourselves rather than using alloc_commit_node, we do not
properly set the "index" field of the commit. This can
produce subtle bugs if we then use commit-slab on the
resulting commit, as we will share the "0" index with
another commit.
We can fix this by using alloc_commit_node() to allocate.
Note that we cannot free the result, as it is part of our
commit allocator. However, both cases were already leaking
the allocated commit anyway, so there's nothing to fix up.

renamed it changing only its case. When merging a rename, the file

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then

Forbids rename detection logic from matching two empty files as renames
during merge-recursive to prevent mismerges.
By Jeff King
* jk/diff-no-rename-empty:
merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files
teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
make is_empty_blob_sha1 available everywhere
drop casts from users EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN
Resurrects the preparatory clean-up patches from another topic that was
discarded, as this would give a saner foundation to build on diff.algo
configuration option series.
* jc/diff-algo-cleanup:
xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option bits
xdiff: remove XDL_PATCH_* macros
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).
This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content. However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.
The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.
Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate

be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace
messages and conflict markers.
Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to
a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add
more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a

would fail, duplicate stage_data entries could be inserted, causing the

Our previous conflict resolution for renaming two different files to the
same name ignored the fact that each of those files may have modifications
from both sides of history to consider. We need to do a three-way merge
for each of those files, and then handle the conflict of both sets of
merged contents trying to be recorded with the same name.
It is important to note that this changes our strategy in the recursive
case. After doing a three-way content merge of each of the files
involved, we still are faced with the fact that we are trying to put both
of the results (including conflict markers) into the same path. We could
do another two-way merge, but I think that becomes confusing. Also,
taking a hint from the modify/delete and rename/delete cases we handled
earlier, a more useful "common ground" would be to keep the three-way
content merge but record it with the original filename. The renames can
still be detected, we just allow it to be done in the o->call_depth=0
case. This seems to result in simpler & easier to understand merge
conflicts as well, as evidenced by some of the changes needed in our
testsuite in t6036. (However, it should be noted that this change will
cause problems those renames also occur along with a file being added
whose name matches the source of the rename. Since git currently cannot
detect rename/add-source situations, though, this codepath is not
currently used for those cases anyway.

When o->call_depth>0 and we have conflicts, we try to find "middle ground"
when creating the virtual merge base. In the case of content conflicts,
this can be done by doing a three-way content merge and using the result.
In all parts where the three-way content merge is clean, it is the correct
middle ground, and in parts where it conflicts there is no middle ground
but the conflict markers provide a good compromise since they are unlikely
to accidentally match any further changes.
In the case of a modify/delete conflict, we cannot do the same thing.
Accepting either endpoint as the resolution for the virtual merge base
runs the risk that when handling the non-recursive case we will silently
accept one person's resolution over another without flagging a conflict.
In this case, the closest "middle ground" we have is actually the merge
base of the candidate merge bases. (We could alternatively attempt a
three way content merge using an empty file in place of the deleted file,
but that seems to be more work than necessary.)

In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20),
there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in
the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the
current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts
that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first
updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual
merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function
that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging
code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping
the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently
high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy
anyway.
When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working
copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating
the working copy.
Note that there was a similar change in b2c8c0a (merge-recursive: When we
detect we can skip an update, actually skip it 2011-02-28), but it was
reverted by 6db4105 (Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'"
2011-05-19) since it did not fix both of the relevant types of unnecessary
update breakages and, worse, it made use of some band-aids that caused
other problems. The reason this change works is due to the changes earlier
in this series to (a) record_df_conflict_files instead of just unlinking
them early, (b) allowing make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entries,
(c) the splitting of update_stages_and_entry() to have its functionality
called at different points, and (d) making the pathnames of the files
involved in the merge available to merge_content().

When dealing with file merging and renames and D/F conflicts and possible
criss-cross merges (how's that for a corner case?), we did not do a
thorough job ensuring the index and working directory had the correct
contents. Fix the logic in merge_content() to handle this. Also,
correct some erroneous tests in t6022 that were expecting the wrong number
of unmerged index entries. These changes fix one of the tests in t6042
(and almost fix another one from t6042 as well).

The code for rename_rename_2to1 conflicts (two files both being renamed to
the same filename) was dead since the rename/add path was always being
independently triggered for each of the renames instead. Further,
reviving the dead code showed that it was inherently buggy and would
always segfault -- among a few other bugs.
Move the else-if branch for the rename/rename block before the rename/add
block to make sure it is checked first, and fix up the rename/rename(2to1)
code segments to make it handle most cases. Work is still needed to
handle higher dimensional corner cases such as rename/rename/modify/modify
issues.

In the recursive case (o->call_depth > 0), we do not modify the working
directory. However, when o->call_depth==0, file renames can mean we need
to delete the old filename from the working copy. Since there have been
lots of changes and mistakes here, let's go through the details. Let's
start with a simple explanation of what we are trying to achieve:
Original goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged
into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be
removed from the working directory.
The path to getting the above statement implemented in merge-recursive took
several steps. The relevant bits of code may be instructive to keep in
mind for the explanation, especially since an English-only description
involves double negatives that are hard to follow. These bits of code are:
int remove_file(..., const char *path, int no_wd)
{
...
int update_working_directory = !o->call_depth && !no_wd;
and
remove_file(o, 1, ren1_src, <expression>);
Where the choice for <expression> has morphed over time:
65ac6e9 (merge-recursive: adjust to loosened "working file clobbered"
check 2006-10-27), introduced the "no_wd" parameter to remove_file() and
used "1" for <expression>. This meant ren1_src was never deleted, leaving
it around in the working copy.
In 8371234 (Remove uncontested renamed files during merge. 2006-12-13),
<expression> was changed to "index_only" (where index_only ==
!!o->call_depth; see b7fa51da). This was equivalent to using "0" for
<expression> (due to the early logic in remove_file), and is orthogonal to
the condition we actually want to check at this point; it resulted in the
source file being removed except when index_only was false. This was
problematic because the file could have been renamed on the side of history
including head, in which case ren1_src could correspond to an untracked
file that should not be deleted.
In 183d797 (Keep untracked files not involved in a merge. 2007-02-04),
<expression> was changed to "index_only || stage == 3". While this gives
correct behavior, the "index_only ||" portion of <expression> is
unnecessary and makes the code slightly harder to follow.
There were also two further changes to this expression, though without
any change in behavior. First in b7fa51d (merge-recursive: get rid of the
index_only global variable 2008-09-02), it was changed to "o->call_depth
|| stage == 3". (index_only == !!o->call_depth). Later, in 41d70bd6
(merge-recursive: Small code clarification -- variable name and comments),
this was changed to "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" (where stage was
renamed to other_stage and renamed_stage == other_stage ^ 1).
So we ended with <expression> being "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2".
But the "o->call_depth ||" piece was unnecessary. We can remove it,
leaving us with <expression> being "renamed_stage == 2". This doesn't
change behavior at all, but it makes the code clearer. Which is good,
because it's about to get uglier.
Corrected goal: If a file is renamed on the side of history being merged
into head, the filename serving as the source of that rename needs to be
removed from the working directory *IF* that file is tracked in head AND
the file tracked in head is related to the original file.
Note that the only difference between the original goal and the corrected
goal is the two extra conditions added at the end. The first condition is
relevant in a rename/delete conflict. If the file was deleted on the
HEAD side of the merge and an untracked file of the same name was added to
the working copy, then without that extra condition the untracked file
will be erroneously deleted. This changes <expression> to "renamed_stage
== 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)".
The second additional condition is relevant in two cases.
The first case the second condition can occur is when a file is deleted
and a completely different file is added with the same name. To my
knowledge, merge-recursive has no mechanism for detecting deleted-and-
replaced-by-different-file cases, so I am simply punting on this
possibility.
The second case for the second condition to occur is when there is a
rename/rename/add-source conflict. That is, when the original file was
renamed on both sides of history AND the original filename is being
re-used by some unrelated (but tracked) content. This case also presents
some additional difficulties for us since we cannot currently detect these
rename/rename/add-source conflicts; as long as the rename detection logic
"optimizes" by ignoring filenames that are present at both ends of the
diff, these conflicts will go unnoticed. However, rename/rename conflicts
are handled by an entirely separate codepath not being discussed here, so
this case is not relevant for the line of code under consideration.
In summary:
Change <expression> from "o->call_depth || renamed_stage == 2" to
"renamed_stage == 2 || !was_tracked(ren1_src)", in order to remove
unnecessary code and avoid deleting untracked files.

Instead of having the process_renames logic update the stages in the index
for the rename destination, have the index updated after process_entry or
process_df_entry. This will also allow us to have process_entry determine
whether a file was tracked and existed in the working copy before the
merge started.

If there were several files conflicting below a directory corresponding
to a D/F conflict, and the file of that D/F conflict is in the way, we
want it to be removed. Since files of D/F conflicts are handled last,
they can be reinstated later and possibly with a new unique name.

Previously, we were using lstat() to determine if a directory was still
present after a merge (and thus in the way of adding a file). We should
have been using lstat() only to determine if untracked directories were in
the way (and then only when necessary to check for untracked directories);
we should instead using the index to determine if there is a tracked
directory in the way. Create a new function to do this and use it to
replace the existing checks for directories being in the way.

make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is about making sure necessary
working directory changes can succeed. When o->call_depth > 0 (i.e. the
recursive case), we do not want to make any working directory changes so
this function should be skipped.
Note that make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() is broken as has
been pointed out by Junio; it should NOT be unlinking files. What it
should do is keep track of files that could be unlinked if a directory
later needs to be written in their place. However, that work also is only
relevant in the non-recursive case, so this change is helpful either way.

Port JGit's HistogramDiff algorithm over to C. Rough numbers (TODO) show
that it is faster than its --patience cousin, as well as the default
Meyers algorithm.
The implementation has been reworked to use structs and pointers,
instead of bitmasks, thus doing away with JGit's 2^28 line limit.
We also use xdiff's default hash table implementation (xdl_hash_bits()
with XDL_HASHLONG()) for convenience.

As the band-aid to merge-recursive seems to regress complex merges in an
unpleasant way. The merge-recursive implementation needs to be rewritten
in such a way that it resolves renames and D/F conflicts entirely in-core
and not to touch working tree at all while doing so. But in the meantime,
this reverts commit ac9666f84 that merged the topic in its entirety.
The config machinery already makes section and variable names
lowercase when parsing them, so using strcasecmp for comparison just
feels wasteful. No noticeable change intended.

When there are too many paths in the project, the number of rename source
candidates "git diff -C -C" finds will exceed the rename detection limit,
and no inexact rename detection is performed. We however could fall back
to "git diff -C" if the number of modified paths is sufficiently small.

Running checks against working tree (e.g. lstat()) and causing
changes to working tree (e.g. unlink()) while building a virtual
ancestor merge does not make any sense. Avoid doing so.
This is not a real fix; it is another magic band-aid on top of
another band-aid we placed earlier.

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:
struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};
Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.
