2016-12-14merge: ensure '--abort' option takes no argumentsChris Packham
Like '--continue', the '--abort' option doesn't make any sense with other options or arguments to 'git merge' so ensure that none are present. Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <judge.packham@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-12-14merge: add '--continue' option as a synonym for 'git commit'Chris Packham
Teach 'git merge' the --continue option which allows 'continuing' a merge by completing it. The traditional way of completing a merge after resolving conflicts is to use 'git commit'. Now with commands like 'git rebase' and 'git cherry-pick' having a '--continue' option adding such an option to 'git merge' presents a consistent UI.

2016-03-23merge: fix NULL pointer dereference when merging nothing into voidJunio C Hamano
When we are on an unborn branch and merging only one foreign parent, we allow "git merge" to fast-forward to that foreign parent commit. This codepath incorrectly attempted to dereference the list of parents that the merge is going to record even when the list is empty. It must refuse to operate instead when there is no parent. All other codepaths make sure the list is not empty before they dereference it, and are safe. Reported-by: Jose Ivan B. Vilarouca Filho Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-21commit: do not lose SQUASH_MSG contentsSven Strickroth
When concluding a conflicted "git merge --squash", the command failed to read SQUASH_MSG that was prepared by "git merge", and showed only the "# Conflicts:" list of conflicted paths. Place the contents from SQUASH_MSG at the beginning, just like we show the commit log skeleton first when concluding a normal merge, and then show the "# Conflicts:" list, to help the user write the log message for the resulting commit.

2015-10-30Merge branch 'jk/merge-file-exit-code'Junio C Hamano
"git merge-file" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which obviously would not work well when there are too many of them. * jk/merge-file-exit-code: merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127
2015-10-29merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127Jeff King
Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit codes: - zero means the merge was successful - a negative number means an error occurred - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a blob full of conflict-marker cruft!). This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127, which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255). Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g., "-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

2014-05-15git-show: fix 'git show -s' to not add extra terminator after merge commitMax Kirillov
When git show -s is called for merge commit it prints extra newline after any merge commit. This differs from output for commits with one parent. Fix it by more thorough checking that diff output is disabled. The code in question exists since commit 3969cf7db1. The additional newline is really needed for cases when patch is requested, test t4013-diff-various.sh contains cases which can demonstrate behavior when the condition is restricted further. Tests: Added merge commit to 'set up a bit of history' case in t7007-show.sh to cover the fix. Existing tests are updated to demonstrate the new behaviour. Earlier, the tests that used "git show -s --pretty=format:%s", even though "--pretty=format:%s" calls for item separator semantics and does not ask for the terminating newline after the last item, expected the output to end with such a newline. They were relying on the buggy behaviour. Use of "--format=%s", which is equivalent to "--pretty=tformat:%s" that asks for a terminating newline after each item, is a more realistic way to use the command. In the test 'merge log messages' the expected data is changed, because it was explicitly listing the extra newline. Also the msg.nologff and msg.nolognoff expected files are replaced by one msg.nolog, because they were diffing because of the bug, and now there should be no difference.

2013-07-02merge: handle --ff/--no-ff/--ff-only as a tri-state optionMiklos Vajna
These three options mean "favor fast-forwarding when possible, without creating an unnecessary merge", "never fast-forward and always create a merge commit even when the commit being merged is a strict descendant", and "we do not want to create any merge commit; update only when the merged commit is a strict descendant". They are "pick one out of these three possibilities" options, and correspond to "merge.ff" configuration that is tri-state (yes, no and only). However, the implementation did not follow the usual convention for the command line options (later one wins, and command line overrides what is in the configuration). Fix this by consolidating two variables (fast_forward_only and allow_fast_forward) used in the implementation into one enum that can take one of the three possible values.

2013-03-25t7600: use test_config to set/unset git config variablesYann Droneaud
Instead of using construct such as: test_when_finished "git config --unset <key>" git config <key> <value> uses test_config <key> <value> The latter takes care of removing <key> at the end of the test. Tests are modified to assume default configuration at entry, and to reset the modified configuration variables at the end. Test 'merge log message' was relying on the presence of option `--no-ff` in the configuration. With the option, git show -s --pretty=format:%b HEAD produces an empty line and without the option, it produces an empty file. The test is modified to check with and without `--no-ff` option.

2012-02-06merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only optionJunio C Hamano
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge" always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that happens to be a descendant of your current commit. Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be possible to say: $ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30 $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9 and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with: fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by fast forwarding. We could teach users that now they have to do $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0 but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves. When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag, even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore, this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted to add. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A later patch could add the status information if desired. Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the prepare-commit-msg hook.

2011-05-06tests: check git does not barf on merge.ff values for future versions of gitJonathan Nieder
Maybe some day in the future we will want to support a syntax like [merge] ff = branch1 ff = branch2 ff = branch3 in addition to the currently permitted "true", "false", and "only" values. So make sure we continue to treat such configurations as though an unknown variable had been defined rather than erroring out, until it is time to implement such a thing, so configuration files using such a facility can be shared between present and future git. While at it, add a few missing && and start the "combining --squash and --no-ff" test with a known state so we can be sure it does not succeed or fail for the wrong reason.

2011-05-06tests: teach verify_parents to check for extra parentsJonathan Nieder
Currently verify_parents only makes sure that the earlier parents of HEAD match the commits given, and does not care if there are more parents. This makes it harder than one would like to check that, for example, parent reduction works correctly when making an octopus. Fix it by checking that HEAD^(n+1) is not a valid commit name. Noticed while working on a new test that was supposed to create a fast-forward one commit ahead but actually created a merge.

The parsing of the additional command line parameters supplied to the branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration variable was implemented at the wrong stage. If any merge-related variable came after we read branch.<name>.mergeoptions, the earlier value was overwritten. We should first read all the merge.* configuration, override them by reading from branch.<name>.mergeoptions and then finally read from the command line. This patch should fix it, even though I now strongly suspect that branch.<name>.mergeoptions that gives a single command line that needs to be parsed was likely to be an ill-conceived idea to begin with.

2011-05-06tests: eliminate unnecessary setup test assertionsJonathan Nieder
Most of git's tests write files and define shell functions and variables that will last throughout a test script at the top of the script, before all test assertions: . ./test-lib.sh VAR='some value' export VAR >empty fn () { do something } test_expect_success 'setup' ' ... nontrivial commands go here ... ' Two scripts use a different style with this kind of trivial code enclosed by a test assertion; fix them. The usual style is easier to read since there is less indentation to keep track of and no need to worry about nested quotes; and on the other hand, because the commands in question are trivial, it should not make the test suite any worse at catching future bugs in git. While at it, make some other small tweaks: - spell function definitions with a space before () for consistency with other scripts; - use the self-contained command "git mktree </dev/null" in preference to "git write-tree" which looks at the index when writing an empty tree.

This way, the history is available for viewing with "git show" but the test script finishes without interaction.

In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be there. - I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500. It may be making sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without wasting tester's time. - The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink. Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose. - The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree. Again, keeping the old file around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would be sufficient for that purpose.

Since commit 6bb6b034 (builtin-commit: use commit_tree(), 2008-09-10), builtin-commit performs a reduce_heads() unconditionally. However, it's not always needed, and in some cases even harmful. reduce_heads() is not needed for the initial commit or for an "ordinary" commit, because they don't have any or have only one parent, respectively. reduce_heads() must be avoided when 'git commit' is run after a 'git merge --no-ff --no-commit', otherwise it will turn the non-fast-forward merge into fast-forward. For the same reason, reduce_heads() must be avoided when amending such a merge commit. To resolve this issue, 'git merge' will write info about whether fast-forward is allowed or not to $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE. Based on this info, 'git commit' will only perform reduce_heads() when it's committing a merge and fast-forward is enabled. Also add test cases to ensure that non-fast-forward merges are committed and amended properly.

2008-08-24merge: fix numerus bugs around "trivial merge" areaJunio C Hamano
The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either. These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of cmd_merge(). The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree. When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round. Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the parents of the resulting commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
