While discussing Jon's ASCII art on merge operations with him, I
realized that the tutorial stops talking about the plumbing
details halfway. So fill in the gory details, and update the
examples to use 'git-merge', not 'git-resolve'.

This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match
the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I
use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own
dog food.
We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/*
(idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce
the local ref namespace pollution.

An unmerged path appears as both "Updated but not checked in" list,
and "Changed but not updated" list. We are not going to commit that
path until it is resolved, so remove it from the former list.

Jon Loeliger noticed that an unmerged path appears as
"Untracked" in git-status output, even though we show the same
path as updated/changed. Since --others means "we have not told
git about that path", we should not show unmerged paths --
obviously, git knows about them; it just does not know what we
want to do about them yet.

I think the original intention was to make CFLAGS overridable
from the make command line, but somehow we ended up accumulating
conditional makefile sections that wrongly appends values to
CFLAGs. These assignments do not work when the user actually
override them from the make command line!
DEFINES are handled the same way; it was seemingly overridable,
but the makefile sections had assignments, which meant
overriding it from the command line broke things.
This simplifies things by limiting the internal futzing to
ALL_CFLAGS, and by removing DEFINES altogether. Overriding
CFLAGS from the command line should start working with this
change.

'git-fetch remote no-such-ref' succeeded without fetching any
ref from the remote. Detect such case and report an error.
Note that this makes 'git-fetch remote master master' to fail,
because the remote branch 'master' matches the first refspec,
and the second refspec is left unmatched, which is detected by
the error checking logic. This is somewhat unintuitive, but
giving the same refspec more than once to git-fetch is useless
in any case so it should not be much of a problem. I'd accept a
patch to change this if somebody cares enough, though.

We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line
right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the
broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such

Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an
explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines.

[jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its
calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead
we just call git-merge). BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how
well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts
because I've updated the documentation somewhat.]

This is a long overdue companion commit that fixed git-commit

After using cg-update to pull, empty files named *.temp are left in
the various subdirectories of .git/objects/. These are created by
git-http-fetch to hold data as it's being fetched from the remote
repository. They are left behind after a transfer error so that the
next time git-http-fetch runs it can pick up where it left off. If
they're empty though, it would make more sense to delete them rather
than leaving them behind for the next attempt.

git-merge expects this check to be done appropriately by the
merge strategy backends. In the case of merge-ours strategy,
the resulting tree comes what we have in the index file, so it
must match the current HEAD; otherwise it would not be "ours"
merge.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This adds the coolest merge strategy ever, "ours". It can take
arbitrary number of foreign heads and merge them into the
current branch, with the resulting tree always taken from our
branch head, hence its name.
What this means is that you can declare that the current branch
supersedes the development histories of other branches using
this merge strategy.
