As the band-aid to merge-recursive seems to regress complex merges in an
unpleasant way. The merge-recursive implementation needs to be rewritten
in such a way that it resolves renames and D/F conflicts entirely in-core
and not to touch working tree at all while doing so. But in the meantime,
this reverts commit ac9666f84 that merged the topic in its entirety.

merge-recursive: tweak magic band-aid
merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip it
t6022: New test checking for unnecessary updates of files in D/F conflicts
t6022: New test checking for unnecessary updates of renamed+modified files
In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20),
there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in
the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the
current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts
that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first
updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual
merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function
that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging
code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping
the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently
high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy
anyway.
When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working
copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating
the working copy.

When comparing numbers such as "3" to "$(wc -l)", we should check for
numerical equality using -eq instead of string equality using = because
some implementations of wc output extra whitespace.

Using 'return' in an attempt to end a test assertion can have
unpredictable results (probably escaping from test_run_ and breaking
its bookkeeping). Redo the control flow using helpers like
test_expect_code and git diff --exit-code, so each test assertion can
follow the usual form

This function is called from process_df_entry(), near the end of the merge.
Rather than just checking whether one of the sides of the merge had a
directory at the same path as one of our files, check whether that
directory is still present by this point of our merge.

Add tests where one file is renamed to two different paths in different
sides of history, and where each of the new files matches the name of a
directory from the opposite side of history. Include tests for both the
case where the merge results in those directories not being cleanly
removed, and where those directories are cleanly removed during the merge.

An interesting testcase is having two files each in their own subdirectory
getting renamed to the toplevel at the directory pathname of the other.
Questions arise as to whether the order of operations matters and whether
the directories can correctly get out of the way and make room for the
new files.

Having the source of a rename be involved in a directory/file conflict does
not currently pose any difficulties to the current merge-recursive
algorithm (in contrast to destinations of renames and D/F conflicts).
However, combining the two seemed like good testcases to include for
completeness.

When merging two branches with some path involved in a D/F conflict, the
choice of which branch to merge into the other matters for (at least) two
reasons: (1) whether the working copy has a directory full of files that
is in the way of a file, or a file exists that is in the way of a
directory of files, (2) when the directory full of files does not disappear
due to the merge, what files at the same paths should be renamed to
(e.g. filename~HEAD vs. filename~otherbranch).
Add some tests that reverse the merge order of two other tests, and which
verify the contents are as expected (namely, that the results are identical
other than modified-for-uniqueness filenames involving branch names).

Add testing of the various ways that a renamed file to a path involved in
a directory/file conflict may be involved in. This includes whether or not
there are conflicts of the contents of the renamed file (if the file was
modified on both sides of history), and whether the directory from the
other side of the merge will disappear as a result of the merge or not.

In tests, call test_cmp rather than raw diff where possible (i.e. if
the output does not go to a pipe), to allow the use of, say, 'cmp'
when the default 'diff -u' is not compatible with a vendor diff.
When that is not possible, use $DIFF, as set in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

When a merge results in a creation of a path that did not exist
in HEAD, and if you already have that path on the working tree,
because the index has not been told about the working tree file,
read-tree happily removes it. The issue was brought up by Santi
Béjar on the list.

This changes the way the case two branches rename the same path
to different paths is handled. Earlier, the code removed the
original path and added both destinations to the index at
stage0. This commit changes it to leave the original path at
stage1, and two destination paths at stage2 and stage3,
respectively.
[jc: I am not really sure if this makes much difference in the
real life merge situations. What should happen when our branch
renames A to B and M to N, while their branch renames A to M?
That is, M remains in our tree as is.]

This adds a couple of tests to cover the following renaming
merge cases:
- one side renames and the other side does not, with and without
content conflicts.
- both side rename to the same path, with and without content
conflicts.
The test setup also prepares a case in which both side rename to
different destination, but currently the code collapses these
destination paths and removes the original path, which may be
wrong. The outcome of this case is not checked by the tests in
this round.
