Fredrik Kuivinen	e4cf17ce0d	[PATCH] Rename the 'fredrik' merge strategy to 'recursive'. Otherwise we would regret when Fredrik comes up with another merge algorithm with different pros-and-cons with the current one.

Junio C Hamano	f88ed172e7	Fix off-by-one error in git-merge 'git-merge -s' without a strategy name does not fail and does not give usage as it should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	720d150c48	Add a new merge strategy by Fredrik Kuivinen. I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment to the 'git merge' driver and waiting. For now the new strategy is called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried. The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM build procecure files.

Junio C Hamano	2276aa6c09	Use Daniel's read-tree in the merge strategy 'resolve'. And rename the one Linus kept calling stupid, 'stupid'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	91063bbc6c	Multi-backend merge driver. The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case. If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that succeeded auto-merging, if there is any. If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the one with the least number of such paths is left in the working tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a commit manually. The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge strategy programs is very simple: - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'. - They take input of this form: <common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>... That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into the current branch. - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is matched to the current <head>. - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the index file will be used to record the merge result as a commit by the driver. - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so. - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or 1 if it does not handle the given merge at all. As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on 'git resolve' and 'git octopus'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
