git-merge-index(1) |
|
================== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-merge-index - Run a merge for files needing merging |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git merge-index' [-o] [-q] <merge-program> (-a | [--] <file>*) |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
This looks up the <file>(s) in the index and, if there are any merge |
|
entries, passes the SHA1 hash for those files as arguments 1, 2, 3 (empty |
|
argument if no file), and <file> as argument 4. File modes for the three |
|
files are passed as arguments 5, 6 and 7. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
\--:: |
|
Do not interpret any more arguments as options. |
|
|
|
-a:: |
|
Run merge against all files in the index that need merging. |
|
|
|
-o:: |
|
Instead of stopping at the first failed merge, do all of them |
|
in one shot - continue with merging even when previous merges |
|
returned errors, and only return the error code after all the |
|
merges. |
|
|
|
-q:: |
|
Do not complain about a failed merge program (a merge program |
|
failure usually indicates conflicts during the merge). This is for |
|
porcelains which might want to emit custom messages. |
|
|
|
If 'git merge-index' is called with multiple <file>s (or -a) then it |
|
processes them in turn only stopping if merge returns a non-zero exit |
|
code. |
|
|
|
Typically this is run with a script calling git's imitation of |
|
the 'merge' command from the RCS package. |
|
|
|
A sample script called 'git merge-one-file' is included in the |
|
distribution. |
|
|
|
ALERT ALERT ALERT! The git "merge object order" is different from the |
|
RCS 'merge' program merge object order. In the above ordering, the |
|
original is first. But the argument order to the 3-way merge program |
|
'merge' is to have the original in the middle. Don't ask me why. |
|
|
|
Examples: |
|
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat MM |
|
This is MM from the original tree. # original |
|
This is modified MM in the branch A. # merge1 |
|
This is modified MM in the branch B. # merge2 |
|
This is modified MM in the branch B. # current contents |
|
|
|
or |
|
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat AA MM |
|
cat: : No such file or directory |
|
This is added AA in the branch A. |
|
This is added AA in the branch B. |
|
This is added AA in the branch B. |
|
fatal: merge program failed |
|
|
|
where the latter example shows how 'git merge-index' will stop trying to |
|
merge once anything has returned an error (i.e., `cat` returned an error |
|
for the AA file, because it didn't exist in the original, and thus |
|
'git merge-index' didn't even try to merge the MM thing). |
