Thomas Glanzmann says that shell he uses on Solaris cannot grok
$(command) but the script does not use nested $(command) and
works happily just by using backticks instead.

With this change, git-merge-one-file-script ceases to smudge
files in the work tree when recording the trivial merge results
(conflicting auto-merge failure case does not touch the work
tree file as before).

The merge-cache program was updated to pass executable bits when
calling git-merge-one-file-script, but the called script
supplied as an example were not using them carefully.
This patch fixes the following problems in the script:
* When a new file is created in a directory, which is a file in
the work tree, it tried to create leading directory but did
not check for failure from the "mkdir -p" command.
* The script did not check the exit status from the
git-update-cache command at all.
* The parameter "$4" to the script is a file name that can
contain almost any characters, so it must be quoted with
double quotes and also needs to be preceded with -- to mark
it as a non-option when passed to certain commands.
* The chmod command was used with parameter "$6" or "$7" to set
the mode bits. This contradicts with the strategy taken by
checkout-cache, where we honor user's umask and force only
the executable bits. With this patch, it creates a new file
by redirecting into it (thus honoring user's default umask),
and then uses "chmod +x" if we want the resulting file
executable. Without this fix, the merge result becomes 0644
or 0755 for users whose umask is 002 for whom it should
become 0664 or 0775.
* When "$1 -> $2 -> $3" case was not handled, the script did
not say which path it was working on, which was not so useful
when used with the -a option of git-merge-cache.

1) permissions aren't respected in the merge script (primarily because
they're never passed in to it in the first place). Fix that and also
check for permission conflicts in the merge
2) the delete of a file in both branches may indeed be just that, but it
could also be the indicator of a rename conflict (file moved to
different locations in both branches), so error out and ask the
committer for guidance.

Doing the latest SCSI merge exposed two bugs in your merge script:
1) It doesn't like a completely new directory (the misc tree contains a
new drivers/scsi/lpfc)
2) the merge testing logic is wrong. You only want to exit 1 if the
merge fails.
They sure as hell aren't perfect, but they allow you to do:
./git-pull-script {other-git-directory}
to do the initial merge, and if that had content clashes, you do
merge-cache ./git-merge-one-file-script -a
which tries to auto-merge. When/if the auto-merge fails, it will
leave the last file in your working directory, and you can edit
it and then when you're happy you can do "update-cache filename"
on it. Re-do the merge-cache thing until there are no files left
to be merged, and now you can write the tree and commit:
write-tree
commit-tree .... -p $(cat .git/HEAD) -p $(cat .git/MERGE_HEAD)
and you're done.
