By the time GIT_WORK_TREE was invented, most people were using the merge-recursive strategy, which handles resolving internally. Therefore these features have had very little testing together. For the most part, merge-one-file just works with GIT_WORK_TREE; most of its heavy lifting is done by plumbing commands which do respect GIT_WORK_TREE properly. The one exception is a shell redirection which touches the worktree directly, writing results to the wrong place in the presence of a GIT_WORK_TREE variable. This means that merges won't even fail; they will silently produce incorrect results, throwing out the entire "theirs" side of files which need content-level merging! This patch makes merge-one-file chdir to the toplevel of the working tree (and exit if we don't have one). This most closely matches the assumption made by the original script (before separate work trees were invented), and matches what happens when the script is called as part of a merge strategy. While we're at it, we'll also error-check the call to cat. Merging a file in a subdirectory could in fact fail, as the redirection relies on the "checkout-index" call just prior to create leading directories. But we never noticed, since we ignored the error return from running cat. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	14 years ago

merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work trees

The merge-one-file tool predates the invention of
GIT_WORK_TREE. By the time GIT_WORK_TREE was invented, most
people were using the merge-recursive strategy, which
handles resolving internally. Therefore these features have
had very little testing together.

For the most part, merge-one-file just works with
GIT_WORK_TREE; most of its heavy lifting is done by plumbing
commands which do respect GIT_WORK_TREE properly. The one
exception is a shell redirection which touches the worktree
directly, writing results to the wrong place in the presence
of a GIT_WORK_TREE variable.

This means that merges won't even fail; they will silently
produce incorrect results, throwing out the entire "theirs"
side of files which need content-level merging!

This patch makes merge-one-file chdir to the toplevel of the
working tree (and exit if we don't have one). This most
closely matches the assumption made by the original script
(before separate work trees were invented), and matches what
happens when the script is called as part of a merge
strategy.

While we're at it, we'll also error-check the call to cat.
Merging a file in a subdirectory could in fact fail, as the
redirection relies on the "checkout-index" call just prior
to create leading directories. But we never noticed, since
we ignored the error return from running cat.

add tests for merge-index / merge-one-file

There were no tests for either, except a brief use in
t1200-tutorial.

These tools are not used much these days, as most people
use the merge-recursive strategy, which handles everything
internally. However, they are used by the "octopus" and
"resolve" strategies, as well as any custom strategies
or merge scripts people have built around them.

For example, together with read-tree, they are the simplest
way to do a basic content-level merge without checking out
the entire repository contents beforehand.

This script adds a basic test of the tools to perform one
content-level merge. It also shows a failure of the tools to
work properly in the face of GIT_WORK_TREE or core.worktree.
