When we call "read-tree --reset -u HEAD ORIG_HEAD", the first thing we do with the index is to call read_cache_unmerged. Originally that would read the index, leaving aside any unmerged entries. However, as ofd1a43f2(reset --hard/read-tree --reset -u: remove unmerged new paths, 2008-10-15), it actually creates a new cache entry to serve as a placeholder, so that we later know to update the working tree. However, we later noticed that the sha1 of that unmerged entry was just copied from some higher stage, leaving you with random content in the index. That was fixed bye11d7b5("reset --merge": fix unmerged case, 2009-12-31), which instead puts the null sha1 into the newly created entry, and sets a CE_CONFLICTED flag. At the same time, it teaches the unpack-trees machinery to pay attention to this flag, so that oneway_merge throws away the current value. However, it did not update the code paths for twoway_merge, which is where we end up in the two-way read-tree with --reset. We notice that the HEAD and ORIG_HEAD versions are the same, and say "oh, we can just reuse the current version". But that's not true. The current version is bogus. Notice this case and make sure we do not keep the bogus entry; either we do not have that path in the tree we are moving to (i.e. remove it), or we want to have the cache entry we created for the tree we are moving to (i.e. resolve by explicitly saying the "newtree" version is what we want).

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 (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
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.
