57b58db74c merge: notice local merging of tags and keep it unwrapped
This also updates the autogenerated merge title message from "merge commit X"
to "merge tag X", and its effect can be seen in the changes to the test suite.

66f4b98ad9 Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' option
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit"
so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge".

Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one
gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one
gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status
information if desired.

Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the
prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and
leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only
stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

898eacd8ad fmt-merge-msg: use branch.$name.description
This teaches "merge --log" and fmt-merge-msg to use branch description
information when merging a local topic branch into the mainline. The
description goes between the branch name label and the list of commit
titles.

The refactoring to share the common configuration parsing between
merge and fmt-merge-msg needs to be made into a separate patch.

baf18fc261 Accept tags in HEAD or MERGE_HEAD
HEAD and MERGE_HEAD (among other branch tips) should never hold a
tag. That can only be caused by broken tools and is cumbersome to fix
by an end user with:

  $ git update-ref HEAD $(git rev-parse HEAD^{commit})

which may look like a magic to a new person.

Be easy, warn users (so broken tools can be fixed if they bother to
report) and move on.

Be robust, if the given SHA-1 cannot be resolved to a commit object,
die (therefore return value is always valid).

Also kill head_invalid in favor of "head_commit == NULL".

Local variable "head" in cmd_merge() is renamed to "head_sha1" to make
sure I don't miss any access because this variable should not be used

10b98fa5b3 merge: use return value of resolve_ref() to determine if HEAD is invalid
resolve_ref() only updates "head" when it returns non NULL value (it
may update "head" even when returning NULL, but not in all cases).

Because "head" is not initialized before the call, is_null_sha1() is
not enough. Check also resolve_ref() return value.

6099835c19 Allow git merge ":/<pattern>"
It probably is not such a good idea to use ":/<pattern>" to specify which
commit to merge, as ":/<pattern>" can often hit unexpected commits, but
somebody tried it and got a nonsense error message:

	fatal: ':/Foo bar' does not point to a commit

So here is a for-the-sake-of-consistency update that is fairly useless
that allows users to carefully try not shooting in the foot.

c9bfb95348 want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui
All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:

  1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
     still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
     value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).

  2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
     defaults it to off.

This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

f1c9626105 diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int
This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

6bf139440c clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.

Let's clean this up in a few ways:

  1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
     This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
     functions, since we were just passing around the
     context values separately.

  2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
     was passed around separately. That's one less argument
     per function.

  3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
     calling a little more uniform.

This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

161807349a cherry-pick: handle root commits with external strategies
The merge-recursive strategy already handles root commits;
it cherry-picks the difference between the empty tree and
the root commit's tree.

However, for external strategies, we dereference NULL and
segfault while building the argument list. Instead, let's
handle this by passing the empty tree sha1 to the merge
script.

97b1b4f3a6 merge: merge unborn index before setting ref
When we merge into an unborn branch, there are basically two
steps:

  1. Write the sha1 of the new commit into the ref pointed
     to by HEAD.

  2. Update the index with the new content, and check it out
     to the working tree.

We currently do them in this order. However, (2) is the step
that is much more likely to fail, since it can be blocked by
things like untracked working tree files. When it does, the
merge fails and we are left with an empty index but an
updated HEAD.

This patch switches the order, so that a failure in updating
the index leaves us unchanged. Of course, a failure in
updating the ref now leaves us with an updated index and
mis-matched HEAD. That is arguably not much better, but it
is probably less likely to actually happen.

d7e5c0cbfb Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises:

 $ git commit -c <original commit id>

to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's
record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise:

  $ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD

A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part.
Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from
revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit
is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit
and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:

	$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

35d2fffdb8 Provide 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge'
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).

options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD

172b6428d0 do not overwrite untracked during merge from unborn branch
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.

message is meant to work with show_all_errors, but this fixes a call to
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() in git_merge_trees() which did not set

add_rejected_path() used to double-check whether it was running in
plumbing mode. This check was ineffective since it was setting
show_all_errors too late for traverse_trees() to see it, and is made

52b48ef1e4 merge: let custom strategies intervene in trivial merges
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.

Perhaps custom strategies should not allow fast-forward either.  This
patch does not make that change, since it is less important (because
it is always possible to explicitly use --no-ff).

e6c111b4c0 unpack_trees: group error messages by type
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.

This patch adapts the porcelain messages for the case of checkout

Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the

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

	git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch

or

	git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch

or

	git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize

The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands.  And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

f217f0e86d Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalization
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.

Otherwise we launch a "git merge-STRATEGY" process.

To make it possible to reuse code that launches a "git merge-STRATEGY"
process, this patch refactors this code into a new try_merge_command()
function.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

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
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
