From e4cdfe84a0d2ac560bf0a2ab0e9beade5f71a844 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elijah Newren Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2022 01:53:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] merge: abort if index does not match HEAD for trivial merges As noted in the last commit and the links therein (especially commit 9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before invoking merge machinery, round N", 2019-08-17), we have had a very long history of problems with failing to enforce the requirement that index matches HEAD when starting a merge. The "trivial merge" logic in builtin/merge.c is yet another such case we previously missed. Add a check for it to ensure it aborts if the index does not match HEAD, and add a testcase where this fix is needed. Note that the fix here would also incidentally be an alternative fix for the testcase added in the last patch, but the fix in the last patch is still needed when multiple merge strategies are in use, so tweak the testcase from the previous commit so that it continues to exercise the codepath added in the last commit.
