Johan Herland 809f38c8ab git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 1/2
Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.

The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.

The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)

* Merge notes from o->remote_ref into o->local_ref

* The given notes_tree 'local_tree' must be the notes_tree referenced by the
* o->local_ref. This is the notes_tree in which the object-level merge is
* performed.
*
* The commits given by the two refs are merged, producing one of the following
* outcomes:
*
* 1. The merge trivially results in an existing commit (e.g. fast-forward or
* already-up-to-date). 'local_tree' is untouched, the SHA1 of the result
* is written into 'result_sha1' and 0 is returned.
* 2. The merge successfully completes, producing a merge commit. local_tree
* contains the updated notes tree, the SHA1 of the resulting commit is
* written into 'result_sha1', and 1 is returned.
* 3. The merge results in conflicts. This is similar to #2 in that the
* partial merge result (i.e. merge result minus the unmerged entries)
* are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 or the resulting commit
* (to be amended when the conflicts have been resolved) is written into
* 'result_sha1'. The unmerged entries are written into the
* .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory with conflict markers.
* -1 is returned.
*
* Both o->local_ref and o->remote_ref must be given (non-NULL), but either ref
* (although not both) may refer to a non-existing notes ref, in which case
* that notes ref is interpreted as an empty notes tree, and the merge
* trivially results in what the other ref points to.
