Once you know the three trees you are going to merge (the one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly, many merges aren't trivial. If there are files that have
|
||||
been added.moved or removed, or if both branches have modified the
|
||||
same file, you will be left with an index tree that contains "merge
|
||||
entries" in it. Such an index tree can _NOT_ be written out to a tree
|
||||
entries" in it. Such an index tree can 'NOT' be written out to a tree
|
||||
object, and you will have to resolve any such merge clashes using
|
||||
other tools before you can write out the result.
|
||||
|
||||
You can examine such index state with `git-ls-files --unmerged`
|
||||
command. An example:
|
||||
|
||||
[ fixme: talk about resolving merges here ]
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
$ git-read-tree -m $orig HEAD $target
|
||||
$ git-ls-files --unmerged
|
||||
100644 263414f423d0e4d70dae8fe53fa34614ff3e2860 1 hello.c
|
||||
100644 06fa6a24256dc7e560efa5687fa84b51f0263c3a 2 hello.c
|
||||
100644 cc44c73eb783565da5831b4d820c962954019b69 3 hello.c
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Each line of the `git-ls-files --unmerged` output begins with
|
||||
the blob mode bits, blob SHA1, 'stage number', and the
|
||||
filename. The 'stage number' is git's way to say which tree it
|
||||
came from: stage 1 corresponds to `$orig` tree, stage 2 `HEAD`
|
||||
tree, and stage3 `$target` tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Earlier we said that trivial merges are done inside
|
||||
`git-read-tree -m`. For example, if the file did not change
|
||||
from `$orig` to `HEAD` nor `$target`, or if the file changed
|
||||
from `$orig` to `HEAD` and `$orig` to `$target` the same way,
|
||||
obviously the final outcome is what is in `HEAD`. What the
|
||||
above example shows is that file `hello.c` was changed from
|
||||
`$orig` to `HEAD` and `$orig` to `$target` in a different way.
|
||||
You could resolve this by running your favorite 3-way merge
|
||||
program, e.g. `diff3` or `merge`, on the blob objects from
|
||||
these three stages yourself, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
$ git-cat-file blob 263414f... >hello.c~1
|
||||
$ git-cat-file blob 06fa6a2... >hello.c~2
|
||||
$ git-cat-file blob cc44c73... >hello.c~3
|
||||
$ merge hello.c~2 hello.c~1 hello.c~3
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This would leave the merge result in `hello.c~2` file, along
|
||||
with conflict markers if there are conflicts. After verifying
|
||||
the merge result makes sense, you can tell git what the final
|
||||
merge result for this file is by:
|
||||
|
||||
mv -f hello.c~2 hello.c
|
||||
git-update-cache hello.c
|
||||
|
||||
When a path is in unmerged state, running `git-update-cache` for
|
||||
that path tells git to mark the path resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
The above is the description of a git merge at the lowest level,
|
||||
to help you understand what conceptually happens under the hood.
|
||||
In practice, nobody, not even git itself, uses three `git-cat-file`
|
||||
for this. There is `git-merge-cache` program that extracts the
|
||||
stages to temporary files and calls a `merge` script on it
|
||||
|
||||
git-merge-cache git-merge-one-file-script hello.c
|
||||
|
||||
and that is what higher level `git resolve` is implemented with.
