Linus Torvalds	0c7993839b	Improved three-way blob merging code This fleshes out the code that generates a three-way merge of a set of blobs. It still actually does the three-way merge using an external executable (ie just calling "merge"), but the interfaces have been cleaned up a lot and are now fully based on the 'mmfile_t' interface, so if libxdiff were to ever grow a compatible three-way-merge, it could probably be directly plugged in. It also uses the previous XDL_EMIT_COMMON functionality extension to libxdiff to generate a made-up base file for the merge for the case where no base file previously existed. This should be equivalent to what we currently do in git-merge-one-file.sh: diff -u -La/$orig -Lb/$orig $orig $src2 \| git-apply --no-add except it should be much simpler and can be done using the direct libxdiff interfaces.

Improved three-way blob merging code

This fleshes out the code that generates a three-way merge of a set of
blobs.

It still actually does the three-way merge using an external executable
(ie just calling "merge"), but the interfaces have been cleaned up a lot
and are now fully based on the 'mmfile_t' interface, so if libxdiff were
to ever grow a compatible three-way-merge, it could probably be directly
plugged in.

It also uses the previous XDL_EMIT_COMMON functionality extension to
libxdiff to generate a made-up base file for the merge for the case where
no base file previously existed. This should be equivalent to what we
currently do in git-merge-one-file.sh:

	diff -u -La/$orig -Lb/$orig $orig $src2 | git-apply --no-add

except it should be much simpler and can be done using the direct libxdiff
interfaces.
