check_one_conflict() compares `i` to `active_nr` in two places to avoid
buffer overruns, but left out an important third location.
The code did used to have a check here comparing i to active_nr, back
before commit fb70a06da2 ("rerere: fix an off-by-one non-bug",
2015-06-28), however the code at the time used an 'if' rather than a
'while' meaning back then that this loop could not have read past the
end of the array, making the check unnecessary and it was removed.
Unfortunately, in commit 5eda906b28 ("rerere: handle conflicts with
multiple stage #1 entries", 2015-07-24), the 'if' was changed to a
'while' and the check comparing i and active_nr was not re-instated,
leading to this problem.

Currently when a user doesn't resolve a conflict, commits the results,
and does an operation which creates another conflict, rerere will use
the ID of the previously unresolved conflict for the new conflict.
This is because the conflict is kept in the MERGE_RR file, which
'rerere' reads every time it is invoked.
After the new conflict is solved, rerere will record the resolution
with the ID of the old conflict. So in order to replay the conflict,
both merges would have to be re-done, instead of just the last one, in
order for rerere to be able to automatically resolve the conflict.
Instead of that, assign a new conflict ID if there are still conflicts
in a file and the file had conflicts at a previous step. This ID
matches the conflict we actually resolved at the corresponding step.
Note that there are no backwards compatibility worries here, as rerere
would have failed to even normalize the conflict before this patch
series.

Currently rerere can't handle nested conflicts and will error out when
it encounters such conflicts. Do that by recursively calling the
'handle_conflict' function to normalize the conflict.
Note that a conflict like this would only be produced if a user
commits a file with conflict markers, and gets a conflict including
that in a susbsequent operation.
The conflict ID calculation here deserves some explanation:
As we are using the same handle_conflict function, the nested conflict
is normalized the same way as for non-nested conflicts, which means
the ancestor in the diff3 case is stripped out, and the parts of the
conflict are ordered alphabetically.
The conflict ID is however is only calculated in the top level
handle_conflict call, so it will include the markers that 'rerere'
adds to the output. e.g. say there's the following conflict:
<<<<<<< HEAD
1
=======
<<<<<<< HEAD
3
=======
2
>>>>>>> branch-2
>>>>>>> branch-3~
it would be recorde as follows in the preimage:
<<<<<<<
1
=======
<<<<<<<
2
=======
3
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>
and the conflict ID would be calculated as
sha1(1<NUL><<<<<<<
2
=======
3
>>>>>>><NUL>)
Stripping out vs. leaving the conflict markers in place in the inner
conflict should have no practical impact, but it simplifies the
implementation.

Currently when a user does a conflict resolution and ends it (in any
way that calls 'git rerere' again) with a file 'rerere' can't handle,
subsequent rerere operations that are interested in that path, such as
'rerere clear' or 'rerere forget <path>' will fail, or even worse in
the case of 'rerere clear' segfault.
Such states include nested conflicts, or a conflict marker that
doesn't have any match.
This is because 'git rerere' calculates a conflict file and writes it
to the MERGE_RR file. When the user then changes the file in any way
rerere can't handle, and then calls 'git rerere' on it again to record
the conflict resolution, the handle_file function fails, and removes
the 'preimage' file in the rr-cache in the process, while leaving the
ID in the MERGE_RR file.
Now when 'rerere clear' is run, it reads the ID from the MERGE_RR
file, however the 'fit_variant' function for the ID is never called as
the 'preimage' file does not exist anymore. This means
'collection->status' in 'has_rerere_resolution' is NULL, and the
command will crash.
To fix this, remove the rerere ID from the MERGE_RR file in the case
when we can't handle it, just after the 'preimage' file was removed
and remove the corresponding variant from .git/rr-cache/. Removing it
unconditionally is fine here, because if the user would have resolved
the conflict and ran rerere, the entry would no longer be in the
MERGE_RR file, so we wouldn't have this problem in the first place,
while if the conflict was not resolved.
Currently there is nothing left in this folder, as the 'preimage'
was already deleted by the 'handle_file' function, so 'remove_variant'
is a no-op. Still call the function, to make sure we clean everything
up, in case we add some other files corresponding to a variant in the
future.
Note that other variants that have the same conflict ID will not be
touched.

These two configuration variables are described in the documentation
to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days:
gc.rerereResolved::
Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 60 days.
gc.rerereUnresolved::
Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 15 days.
There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate"
expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never".
Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous
step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more
generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do
so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three
cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it
is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an
error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work
correctly without using the return value, though.
In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an
integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and
when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of
the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter.
But this will do for now.

The test creates a rerere database entry that is two days old, and
tries to expire with three different custom expiry configuration
(keep ones less than 5 days old, keep ones used less than 5 days

"right now" parameter in a later step; parameterize the test to make

The test blindly trusted that there may be _some_ entries left in

see if the gc threshold variables are honoured correctly. This

begins.
Instead, clear the rerere database, and populate it with a few known
entries (which are bogus, but for the purpose of testing "garbage
collection", it does not matter---we want to make sure we collect
old cruft, even if the files are corrupt rerere database entries),
and use them for the expiry test.

The "multiple identical conflicts" test counts the number of entries

Because conflicts with the same contents inside conflict blocks
enclosed by "<<<<<<<" and ">>>>>>>" can now have multiple variants
to help three-way merge to adjust to the differences outside the
conflict blocks, "rerere forget $path" needs to be taught that there
may be multiple recorded resolutions that share the same conflict
hash (which groups the conflicts with "the same contents inside
conflict blocks"), among which there are some that would not be
relevant to the conflict we are looking at. These "other variants"
that happen to share the same conflict hash should not be cleared,
and the variant that would apply to the current conflict may not be
the zero-th one (which is the only one that is cleared by the
current code).
After finding the conflict hash, iterate over the existing variants
and try to resolve the conflict using each of them to find the one
that "cleanly" resolves the current conflict. That is the one we
want to forget and record the preimage for, so that the user can
record the corrected resolution.

This enables the multiple-variant support for real. Multiple
conflicts of the same shape can have differences in contexts where
they appear, interfering the replaying of recorded resolution of one
conflict to another, and in such a case, their resolutions are
recorded as different variants under the same conflict ID.
We still need to adjust garbage collection codepaths for this
change, but the basic "replay" functionality is functional with
this change.

When the context of multiple identical conflicts are different, two
seemingly the same conflict resolution cannot be safely applied.

If by some accident there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID directory
existed, we wouldn't have recorded a preimage for a conflict that
is newly encountered, which would mean after a manual resolution,
we wouldn't have recorded it by storing the postimage, because the
logic used to be "if there is no rr-cache/$ID directory, then we are
the first so record the preimage". Instead, record preimage if we
do not have one.
In addition, if there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID/postimage
without corresponding preimage, we would have tried to call into
merge() and punted.
These would have been a situation frustratingly hard to recover

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/

perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The

'rerere gc' prunes resolutions of conflicted merges that occurred long
time ago, and when doing so it takes the creation time of the
conflicted automerge results into account. This can cause the loss of
frequently used conflict resolutions (e.g. long-living topic branches
are merged into a regularly rebuilt integration branch (think of git's
pu)) when they become old enough to exceed 'rerere gc's threshold.
To prevent the loss of valuable merge resolutions 'rerere' will (1)
update the timestamp of the recorded conflict resolution (i.e.
'postimage') each time when encountering and resolving the same merge
conflict, and (2) take this timestamp, i.e. the time of the last usage
into account when gc'ing.

If you want to reuse the rerere cache in another repository, and set
a symbolic link to it, you do not want to have the two repositories
interfer with each other by accessing the _same_ MERGE_RR.
For example, if you use contrib/git-new-workdir to set up a second
working directory, and you have a conflict in one working directory,
but commit in the other working directory first, the wrong "resolution"
will be recorded.
The easy solution is to move MERGE_RR out of the rr-cache/ directory,
which also corresponds with the notion that rr-cache/ contains cached
resolutions, not some intermediate temporary states.

When a conflicting file contains a line that begin with "=======", rerere

not just begin with 7 equals, but is followed by either a SP or a LF.
This patch enforces parsing rules so that markers match in the right order,
and when ambiguous, the command does not autoresolve the conflicted file.
Especially because we are introducing rerere.autoupdate configuration
(which is off by default for safety) that automatically stages the
resolution made by rerere, it is necessary to make sure that we do not

So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set

.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
