Add testcases that cover a variety of merge issues with files being renamed and modified on different sides of history, when there are directories possibly conflicting with the rename location. Case 1: On one side of history, a file is modified and a new directory is added. On the other side of history, the file is modified in a non-conflicting way but is renamed to the location of the new directory. Case 2: [Same as case 1, but there is also a content conflict. In detail:] On one side of history, a file is modified and a new directory is added. On the other side of history, the file is modified in a conflicting way and it is renamed to the location of the new directory. Case 3: [Similar to case 1, but the "conflicting" directory is the directory where the file original resided. In detail:] On one side of history, a file is modified. On the other side of history, the file is modified in a non-conflicting way, but the directory it was under is removed and the file is renamed to the location of the directory it used to reside in (i.e. 'sub/file' gets renamed to 'sub'). This is flagged as a directory/rename conflict, but should be able to be resolved since the directory can be cleanly removed by the merge. One branch renames a file and makes a file where the directory the renamed file used to be in, and the other branch updates the file in place. Merging them should resolve it cleanly as long as the content level change on the branches do not overlap and rename is detected, or should leave conflict without losing information.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
