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).
