When renaming one file to two files, we really should be doing a content
merge. Also, in the recursive case, undoing the renames and recording the
merged file in the index with the source of the rename (while deleting
both destinations) allows the renames to be re-detected in the
non-recursive merge and will result in fewer spurious conflicts.

a new merge_file convenience function which takes the sha1s and modes and

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().

Whenever there are merge conflicts in file contents, we would mark the
different sides of the conflict with the two branches being merged.
However, when there is a rename involved as well, the branchname is not
sufficient to specify where the conflicting content came from. In such

The whole point of adding process_df_entry() was to ensure that files of

need to do is iterate through them in reverse order to achieve the same
effect. That lets us remove some duplicated code, and lets us keep

The code for rename_rename_2to1 conflicts (two files both being renamed to

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

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.

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

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

The code had several places where individual checks were done to remove

leading to the need to create make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts()

been deferred to process_df_entry() yet, leading to the creation of even

When a commit moves A to B while another commit created B (or moved C to
B), and these two different commits serve as different merge-bases for a
later merge, c94736a (merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling
rename clashes 2009-07-30) added some special code to avoid segfaults.
Since that commit, the two versions of B are merged in place (which could
be potentially conflicting) and the intermediate result is used as the
virtual ancestor.
However, right before this special merge, try_merge was turned on, meaning
that process_renames() would try an alternative merge that ignores the
'add' part of the conflict, and, if the merge is clean, store that as the
new virtual ancestor. This could cause incorrect merging of criss-cross
merges; it would typically result in just recording a slightly confusing
merge base, but in some cases it could cause silent acceptance of one side
of a merge as the final resolution when a conflict should have been
flagged.
When we do a special merge for such a rename/add conflict between
merge-bases, turn try_merge off to avoid an inappropriate second merge.

process_renames() and process_entry() have nearly identical code for
doing three-way file merging to resolve content changes. Since we are
already deferring some of the current rename handling in order to better
handle D/F conflicts, it seems to make sense to defer content merging as
well and remove the (nearly) duplicated code sections for handling this
merging.
To facilitate this process, add a new update_stages_and_entry() function
which will map the higher stage index entries from two files involved in a
rename into the resulting rename destination's index entries, and update
the associated stage_data structure.

Since we need to resolve paths (including renames) in-core first and defer
checking of D/F conflicts (namely waiting to see if directories are still
in the way after all paths are resolved) before updating files involved in

information about the rename needed at D/F resolution time, and then make
use of that information when resolving D/F conflicts at the end.

In merge-recursive.c, whenever there was a rename where a file name on one
side of the rename matches a directory name on the other side of the merge,
then the very first check that
string_list_has_string(&o->current_directory_set, ren1_dst)
would trigger forcing it into marking it as a rename/directory conflict.
However, if the path is only renamed on one side and a simple three-way
merge between the separate files resolves cleanly, then we don't need to
mark it as a rename/directory conflict. So, we can simply move the check
for rename/directory conflicts after we've verified that there isn't a
rename/rename conflict and that a threeway content merge doesn't work.
This changes the particular error message one gets in the case where the
directory name that a file on one side of the rename matches is not also
part of the rename pair. For example, with commits containing the files:
COMMON -> (HEAD, MERGE )
--------- --------------- -------
sub/file1 -> (sub/file1, newsub)
<NULL> -> (newsub/newfile, <NULL>)
then previously when one tried to merge MERGE into HEAD, one would get
CONFLICT (rename/directory): Rename sub/file1->newsub in HEAD directory newsub added in merge
Renaming sub/file1 to newsub~HEAD instead
Adding newsub/newfile
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
After this patch, the error message will instead become:
Removing newsub
Adding newsub/newfile
CONFLICT (file/directory): There is a directory with name newsub in merge. Adding newsub as newsub~HEAD
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
That makes more sense to me, because git can't know that there's a conflict
until after it's tried resolving paths involving newsub/newfile to see if
they are still in the way at the end (and if newsub/newfile is not in the
way at the end, there should be no conflict at all, which did not hold with
git previously).

Here's a third attempt with no use of symlinks in the test:
Skip the entire rename/add conflict case if the file added on the
other branch has the same contents as the file being renamed. This
avoids giving the user an extra copy of the same file and presenting a
conflict that is confusing and pointless.

Add support for merging with ignoring line endings (specifically
--ignore-space-at-eol) when using recursive merging. This is
as a strategy-option, so that you can do:
git merge --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
and
git rebase --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
This can be useful for coping with line-ending damage (Xcode 3.1 has a
nasty habit of converting all CRLFs to LFs, and VC6 tends to just use
CRLFs for inserted lines).
The only option I need is ignore-space-at-eol, but while at it,
include the other xdiff whitespace options (ignore-space-change,
ignore-all-space), too.

In 5a2580d (merge_recursive: Fix renames across paths below D/F conflicts
2010-07-09) and ae74548 (merge-recursive: Fix multiple file rename across
D/F conflict 2010-08-17), renames across D/F conflicts were fixed by
making process_renames() consider as unprocessed renames whose dst_entry
"still" had higher stage entries. The assumption was that those higher
stage entries would have been cleared out of dst_entry by that point in
cases where the conflict could be resolved (normal renames with no D/F
conflicts). That is not the case -- higher stage entries will remain in
all cases.
Fix this by checking for higher stage entries corresponding to D/F
conflicts, namely that stages 2 and 3 have exactly one nonzero mode between
them. The nonzero mode stage corresponds to a file at the path, while the
stage with a zero mode will correspond to a directory at that path (since
rename/delete conflicts will have already been handled before this codepath
is reached.)

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.
As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

parameterized by an action string ("overwritten" or "removed").
Instead, we consider them as two different cases, with unparameterized
