Edward Thomson b8823c2b 2018-01-22T23:56:22 Add failing test case for virtual commit merge base issue
Edward Thomson afcaf35e 2018-01-21T16:50:40 merge::trees::recursive: test for virtual base building Virtual base building: ensure that the virtual base is created and revwalked in the same way as git.
Edward Thomson b924df1e 2018-01-21T18:05:45 merge: reverse merge bases for recursive merge When the commits being merged have multiple merge bases, reverse the order when creating the virtual merge base. This is for compatibility with git's merge-recursive algorithm, and ensures that we build identical trees. Git does this to try to use older merge bases first. Per 8918b0c: > It seems to be the only sane way to do it: when a two-head merge is > done, and the merge-base and one of the two branches agree, the > merge assumes that the other branch has something new. > > If we start creating virtual commits from newer merge-bases, and go > back to older merge-bases, and then merge with newer commits again, > chances are that a patch is lost, _because_ the merge-base and the > head agree on it. Unlikely, yes, but it happened to me.
Edward Thomson 185b0d08 2018-01-20T19:41:28 merge: recursive uses larger conflict markers Git uses longer conflict markers in the recursive merge base - two more than the default (thus, 9 character long conflict markers). This allows users to tell the difference between the recursive merge conflicts and conflicts between the ours and theirs branches. This was introduced in git d694a17986a28bbc19e2a6c32404ca24572e400f. Update our tests to expect this as well.
Edward Thomson 5b9c63c3 2015-11-20T19:01:42 recursive merge: add a recursion limit
Edward Thomson 78859c63 2015-11-20T17:33:49 merge: handle conflicts in recursive base building When building a recursive merge base, allow conflicts to occur. Use the file (with conflict markers) as the common ancestor. The user has already seen and dealt with this conflict by virtue of having a criss-cross merge. If they resolved this conflict identically in both branches, then there will be no conflict in the result. This is the best case scenario. If they did not resolve the conflict identically in the two branches, then we will generate a new conflict. If the user is simply using standard conflict output then the results will be fairly sensible. But if the user is using a mergetool or using diff3 output, then the common ancestor will be a conflict file (itself with diff3 output, haha!). This is quite terrible, but it matches git's behavior.
Edward Thomson 34a51428 2015-11-09T11:55:26 merge tests: add complex recursive example
Edward Thomson b1eef912 2015-10-27T18:00:30 merge: add recursive test with conflicting contents
Edward Thomson fccad82e 2015-10-27T14:23:35 merge: add recursive test with three merge bases
Edward Thomson 99d9d9a4 2015-10-26T17:44:36 merge: improve test names in recursive merge tests
Edward Thomson a200bcf7 2015-10-26T17:25:42 merge: add a third-level recursive merge
Edward Thomson cdb6c1c8 2015-10-26T17:14:28 merge: add a second-level recursive merge
Edward Thomson 86c8d02c 2015-10-22T20:20:07 merge: add simple recursive test Add a simple recursive test - where multiple ancestors exist and creating a virtual merge base from them would prevent a conflict.
