In order to pass the list of parents to fmt_merge_msg(), cmd_merge()
uses this strbuf to create something that look like FETCH_HEAD that
describes commits that are being merged. This is necessary only
when we are creating the merge commit message ourselves, but was
done unconditionally.
Move the variable and the logic to populate it to confine them in a
block that needs them.

The latter does two separate things:
- Parse the list of commits on the command line, and formulate the
list of commits to be merged (including the current HEAD);
- Compute the list of parents to be recorded in the resulting merge
commit.
Split the latter into a separate helper function, so that we can
later supply the list commits to be merged from a different source
(namely, FETCH_HEAD).

Clarify this small function in three ways.
- The function initially collects all commits to be merged into a
commit_list "remoteheads"; the "remotes" pointer always points at
the tail of this list (either the remoteheads variable itself, or
the ->next slot of the element at the end of the list) to help
elongate the list by repeated calls to commit_list_insert().
Because the new element appended by commit_list_insert() will
always have its ->next slot NULLed out, there is no need for us
to assign NULL to *remotes to terminate the list at the end.
- The variable "head_subsumed" always confused me every time I read
this code. What is happening here is that we inspect what the
caller told us to merge (including the current HEAD) and come up
with the list of parents to be recorded for the resulting merge
commit, omitting commits that are ancestor of other commits.
This filtering may remove the current HEAD from the resulting
parent list---and we signal that fact with this variable, so that
we can later record it as the first parent when "--no-ff" is in
effect.
- The "parents" list is created for this function by reduce_heads()
and was not deallocated after its use, even though the loop
control was written in such a way to allow us to do so by taking
the "next" element in a separate variable so that it can be used
in the next-step part of the loop control.

To reject merging multiple commits into an unborn branch, we check
argc, thinking that collect_parents() that reads the remaining
command line arguments from <argc, argv> will give us the same
number of commits as its input, i.e. argc.
Because what we really care about is the number of commits, let the
function run and then make sure it returns only one commit instead.

This reverts commit 2bf15a3330, whose
intention was good, but the verbosity levels used in merge-recursive
turns out to be rather uneven. For example, a merge of two branches
with conflicting submodule updates used to report CONFLICT: output
with --quiet but no longer (which *is* desired), while the final
"Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit" message is
still shown even with --quiet (which *is* inconsistent).
Originally reported by Bryan Turner; it is too early to declare what
the concensus is, but it seems that we would need to level the
verbosity levels used in merge strategy backends before we can go
forward. In the meantime, we'd revert to the old behaviour until
that happens.
cf. $gmane/267245
"git merge --quiet" did not squelch messages from the underlying
merge-recursive strategy.
* jk/merge-quiet:
merge: pass verbosity flag down to merge-recursive
This makes "git merge --quiet" really quiet when we call
into merge-recursive.
Note that we can't just pass our flag down as-is; the two
parts of the code use different scales. We center at "0" as
normal for git-merge (with "--quiet" giving a negative
value), but merge-recursive uses "2" as its center. This
patch passes a negative value to merge-recursive rather than
"1", though, as otherwise the user would have to use "-qqq"
to squelch all messages (but the downside is that the user
cannot distinguish between levels 0-2 if without resorting
to the GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY variable).
We may want to review and renormalize the message severities
in merge-recursive, but that does not have to happen now.
This is at least in improvement in the sense that we are
respecting "--quiet" at all.

The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags

preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.
Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

merge: handle --ff/--no-ff/--ff-only as a tri-state option
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
this:

update only when the merged commit is a strict descendant".
They are "pick one out of these three possibilities" options, and
correspond to "merge.ff" configuration that is tri-state (yes, no

However, the implementation did not follow the usual convention for

Allow a configuration variable core.commentchar to customize the

the default '#'.
* jc/custom-comment-char:
Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users. They have a choice between
- Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and
- Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.
Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.
$ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit
so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text. After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.
When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.
Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

Instead of waiting until we record the parents of resulting merge, reduce

The change to t7602 illustrates the essence of the effect of this change.
The octopus merge strategy used to be fed with redundant commits only to
discard them as "up-to-date", but we no longer feed such redundant commits

The heuristic used by "git merge" to decide if it automatically gives an
editor upon clean automerge is to see if the standard input and the
standard output is the same device and is a tty, we are in an interactive
session. "The same device" test was done by comparing fstat(2) result on
the two file descriptors (and they must match), and we asked isatty() only
for the standard input (we insist that they are the same device and there
is no point asking tty-ness of the standard output).
The stat(2) emulation in the Windows port however does not give a usable
value in the st_ino field, so even if the standard output is connected to
something different from the standard input, "The same device" test may
incorrectly return true. To accomodate it, add another isatty() check for
the standard output stream as well.

Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,
2012-01-10), git-merge only started an editor if the user explicitly
asked for it with --edit. Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.
After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor. Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.
The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose. However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches. So we may as well take another step in the same direction.

Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.
After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.
Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).
There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.
Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:
- The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
with an option.
- Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).
- The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
block would look like.
- When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.
A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to

All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:
1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).
2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.
This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.
This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.
Let's clean this up in a few ways:
1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
functions, since we were just passing around the
context values separately.
2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
was passed around separately. That's one less argument
per function.
3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
calling a little more uniform.
This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

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.

Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to

Teach 'git merge' the --abort option, which verifies the existence of
MERGE_HEAD and then invokes 'git reset --merge' to abort the current
in-progress merge and attempt to reconstruct the pre-merge state.
The reason for adding this option is to provide a user interface for
aborting an in-progress merge that is consistent with the interface
for aborting a rebase ('git rebase --abort'), aborting the application
of a patch series ('git am --abort'), and aborting an in-progress notes
merge ('git notes merge --abort').
The patch includes documentation and testcases that explain and verify
the various scenarios in which 'git merge --abort' can run. The
testcases also document the cases in which 'git merge --abort' is
unable to correctly restore the pre-merge state (look for the '###'
comments towards the bottom of t/t7609-merge-abort.sh).

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.

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.

Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration. The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.
So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:
git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch
or
git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch
or
git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize
The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands. And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.
Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):
o---C
/ \
A---B---D
B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
LF-only
C: Modify some of the text files
D: Try to merge C
You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.
Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.
This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

When the user specifies a message, use fmt_merge_msg_shortlog() to
append the shortlog.
Previously, when a message was specified, we ignored the merge title
("Merge <foo> into <bar>") and shortlog from fmt_merge_msg().
Update the documentation for -m to reflect this too.

It is more accurate to call it 'merge_names' instead of 'msg', as it
does not contain the final message.

ce9d823 (merge: do not add standard message when message is given with
-m option) changed the behaviour of the code that the comment addressed,
but the comment was not similarly updated.
Fix this.

* cc/revert-strategy:
revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy
merge: make function try_merge_command non static
merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY"
revert: refactor merge recursive code into its own function
revert: use strbuf to refactor the code that writes the merge message
Conflicts:
builtin/revert.c
In the try_merge_strategy() function, when the strategy is "recursive"
or "subtree", the merge_recursive() function is called.
Otherwise we launch a "git merge-STRATEGY" process.
To make it possible to reuse code that launches a "git merge-STRATEGY"
process, this patch refactors this code into a new try_merge_command()
function.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
