When we merge into an unborn branch, there are basically two
steps:
1. Write the sha1 of the new commit into the ref pointed
to by HEAD.
2. Update the index with the new content, and check it out
to the working tree.
We currently do them in this order. However, (2) is the step
that is much more likely to fail, since it can be blocked by
things like untracked working tree files. When it does, the
merge fails and we are left with an empty index but an
updated HEAD.
This patch switches the order, so that a failure in updating
the index leaves us unchanged. Of course, a failure in
updating the ref now leaves us with an updated index and
mis-matched HEAD. That is arguably not much better, but it
is probably less likely to actually happen.

This file ends up conflicting with the test just after it
(causing the "git merge" to fail). Neither test is to blame
for the bug, though. It looks like the merge in 1a9fe45
(Merge branch 'tr/merge-unborn-clobber', 2011-02-09) is what
caused the conflict.
We didn't notice because the follow-on test is already
marked as expect_failure (even though it has since been
fixed, and now succeeds once the untracked file is moved out
of the way).

Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.
This was caused by two mistakes:
* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
fractional timezones).
* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
minutes, which is always less than 60).
Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.
For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

We currently don't do break-detection at all in
merge-recursive. But there are some cases where it would
provide a more useful merge result.
For example, consider this case (which is the basis for the
new tests in t6039):
1. You rename a header file foo.h to bar.h. You install a
new foo.h that includes bar.h (for compatibility).
2. Another branch makes changes to foo.h.
When you merge, you want the changes the other branch made
to foo.h to migrate to the rename destination, bar.h, just
as you would if you hadn't installed that compatibility
header.
Similarly, you want the compatibility header left untouched.
The other side's changes all ended up in bar.h, so there is
no reason to conflict with the new content in foo.h.
This patch turns on break detection for merge-recursive. In
addition to new tests in t6039, it makes a similar test in
t3030 pass.

We generally think of a rename as removing one path entirely
and placing similar content at a new path. In other words,
after a rename, the original path is now empty. But that is
not necessarily the case with rewrite detection (which is
not currently possible to do for merge-recursive).
The current merge code blindly removes paths that are used
as rename sources; however, we should check to see if there
is useful content at that path. There are basically two
interesting cases:
1. One side renames a path, but also puts new content
(or a symlink) at the same path. We want to detect the
rename, and have changes from the other side applied to
the rename destination. The new content at the original
path should be left untouched.
The current code just calls remove_file, but that
ignores the concept that the renaming side may put
something else useful there. We should detect this case
and either remove (if no new content), or put the new
content in place at the original path.
2. Both sides renamed and installed new content at the
original path. If they didn't rename to the same
destination, it is a conflict, and we already mark it
as such. But if it's the same destination, then it's
not a conflict; the renamed content will be merged at
the new destination.
For the new content at the original path, we have to do
a 3-way merge. The base must be the null sha1, because
this "slot" for content didn't exist before (it was
taken up by the content which got renamed away). So if
only one side installed new content, that content
automatically wins. If both sides did, and it is the
same content, then that content is OK. But if the
content is different, then we have a conflict and
should do the usual conflict-markers thing.
This patch implements the semantics described above, which
lays the groundwork for turning on rewrite detection.

In this test, we have merge two branches. On one branch, we
renamed "a" to "e". On the other, we renamed "a" to "e" and
then added a symlink pointing at "a" pointing to "e".
The results for the test indicate that the merge should
succeed, but also that "a" should no longer exist. Since
both sides renamed "a" to the same destination, we will end
up comparing those destinations for content.
But what about what's left? One side (the rename only),
replaced "a" with nothing. The other side replaced it with a
symlink. The common base must also be nothing, because any
"a" before this was meaningless (it was totally unrelated
content that ended up getting renamed).
The only sensible resolution is to keep the symlink. The
rename-only side didn't touch the content versus the common
base, and the other side added content. The 3-way merge
dictates that we take the side with a change.
And this gives the overall merge an intuitive result. One
side made one change (a rename), and the other side made two
changes: an identical rename, and an addition (that just
happened to be at the same spot). The end result should
contain both changes.

t_e_i() can return -1 or 2 to early shortcut a search. Current code
may use up to two variables to handle it. One for saving return value
from t_e_i temporarily, one for saving return code 2.
The second variable is not needed. If we make sure the first variable
does not change until the next t_e_i() call, then we can do something
like this:
int ret = 0;
while (...) {
if (ret != 2) {
ret = t_e_i();
if (ret < 0) /* no longer interesting */
break;
if (ret == 0) /* skip this round */
continue;
}
/* ret > 0, interesting */

Unlike bash and ksh, dash and busybox ash do not support brace
expansion (as in 'echo {hello,world}'). So when dash is sh,
t6009.13 (set up dodecapus) ends up pass a string beginning with
"root{1,2," to "git merge" verbatim and the test fails.
Fix it by introducing a variable to hold the list of parents for
the dodecapus and populating it in a more low-tech way.
While at it, simplify a little by combining this setup code with the
test it sets up for.

Since e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05), an unmerged entry should be detected by
using DIFF_PAIR_UNMERGED(p), not by noticing both one and two sides of
the filepair records mode=0 entries. However, it forgot to update some
parts of the rename detection logic.
This only makes difference in the "diff --cached" codepath where an
unmerged filepair carries information on the entries that came from the
tree. It probably hasn't been noticed for a long time because nobody
would run "diff -M" during a conflict resolution, but "git status" uses
rename detection when it internally runs "diff-index" and "diff-files"
and gives nonsense results.
In an unmerged pair, "one" side can have a valid filespec to record the
tree entry (e.g. what's in HEAD) when running "diff --cached". This can
be used as a rename source to other paths in the index that are not
unmerged. The path that is unmerged by definition does not have the
final content yet (i.e. "two" side cannot have a valid filespec), so it
can never be a rename destination.
Use the DIFF_PAIR_UNMERGED() to detect unmerged filepair correctly, and
allow the valid "one" side of an unmerged filepair to be considered a
potential rename source, but never to be considered a rename destination.

The git-new-workdir script in contrib/ makes a new work tree by sharing
many subdirectories of the .git directory with the original repository.
When rerere.enabled is set in the original repository, but the user has
not encountered any conflicts yet, the original repository may not yet
have .git/rr-cache directory.
When rerere wants to run in a new work tree created from such a young
original repository, it fails to mkdir(2) .git/rr-cache that is a symlink
to a yet-to-be-created directory.
There are three possible approaches to this:
- A naive solution is not to create a symlink in the git-new-workdir
script to a directory the original does not have (yet). This is not a
solution, as we tend to lazily create subdirectories of .git/, and
having rerere.enabled configuration set is a strong indication that the
user _wants_ to have this lazy creation to happen;
- We could always create .git/rr-cache upon repository creation. This is
tempting but will not help people with existing repositories.
- Detect this case by seeing that mkdir(2) failed with EEXIST, checking
that the path is a symlink, and try running mkdir(2) on the link
target.
This patch solves the issue by doing the third one.
Strictly speaking, this is incomplete. It does not attempt to handle
relative symbolic link that points into the original repository, but this
is good enough to help people who use contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir
script.

Introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options which limit the
revisions to those commits which have at least (or at most) that many
commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).
In particular:
--max-parents=1 is the same as --no-merges;
--min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
--max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
--min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges
Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
for (i.e. nothing) for obvious reasons, just like when you give --merges
(show only merge commits) and --no-merges (show only non-merge commits) at
the same time.
Also, introduce --no-min-parents and --no-max-parents to do the obvious
thing for convenience.
We compute the number of parents only when we limit by that, so there
is no performance impact when there are no limiters.
