2010-11-17git notes merge: Add another auto-resolving strategy: "cat_sort_uniq"Johan Herland
This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates. This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result. Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_ to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy. The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-17git notes merge: Add automatic conflict resolvers (ours, theirs, union)Johan Herland
The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid strategies to choose from: 1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts. This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented properly in future patches. 2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and discards the remote version. 3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and discards the local version. 4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote version to the local version. The strategies are implemented using the combine_notes_* functions from the notes.h API. The patch also includes testcases verifying the correct implementation of these strategies. This patch has been improved by the following contributions: - Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value - Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit - Stephen Boyd: Use correct option name Thanks-to: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Thanks-to: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
