When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the
subsequent commit calls the prepare-commit-msg hook. However,
it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency
by invoking the hook after clean merges as well.

Teach 'git merge' the --abort option, which verifies the existence of
MERGE_HEAD and then invokes 'git reset --merge' to abort the current
in-progress merge and attempt to reconstruct the pre-merge state.
The reason for adding this option is to provide a user interface for
aborting an in-progress merge that is consistent with the interface
for aborting a rebase ('git rebase --abort'), aborting the application
of a patch series ('git am --abort'), and aborting an in-progress notes
merge ('git notes merge --abort').
The patch includes documentation and testcases that explain and verify
the various scenarios in which 'git merge --abort' can run. The
testcases also document the cases in which 'git merge --abort' is
unable to correctly restore the pre-merge state (look for the '###'
comments towards the bottom of t/t7609-merge-abort.sh).

Reorder the initial part of builtin/merge.c:cmd_merge() so that command-line
options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD
(and exits if it exists). This does not change the behaviour of 'git merge',
but is needed in preparation for the implementation of 'git merge --abort'
(which requires MERGE_HEAD to be present).

In case HEAD does not point to a valid commit yet, merge is
implemented as a hard reset. This will cause untracked files to be
overwritten.
Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An
untracked file will cause the merge to abort and do nothing. If no
conflicting files are present, the merge will have the same effect
as a hard reset.

In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the

The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this

Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by

As v1.6.1-rc1~294^2 (2008-08-23) explains, custom merge strategies
do not even kick in when the merge is truly trivial. But they
should, since otherwise a custom “--strategy=theirs” is not useful.

When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either
- directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode
(i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1)
- or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(),
Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for
which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost
identical errors.
As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be
done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most

Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.
Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):
o---C
/ \
A---B---D
B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
LF-only
C: Modify some of the text files
D: Try to merge C
You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.
Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.
This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus

This makes "subtree" more orthogonal to the rest of recursive merge, so
that you can use subtree and ours/theirs features at the same time. For
example, you can now say:
git merge -s subtree -Xtheirs other
to merge with "other" branch while shifting it up or down to match the
shape of the tree of the current branch, and resolving conflicts favoring
the changes "other" branch made over changes made in the current branch.
It also allows the prefix used to shift the trees to be specified using
the "-Xsubtree=$prefix" option. Giving an empty prefix tells the command
to figure out how much to shift trees automatically as we have always
done. "merge -s subtree" is the same as "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree="
(or "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree").

Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.
A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.
For commit, the error message used to look like this:
$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees
The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or

Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and

As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:
- failures of system calls;
- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.
Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.
Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.
This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.
