[PATCH v3] Demonstrate bugs when a directory is replaced with a symlink

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This test creates two directories, a/b and a/b-2, then replaces a/b with
a symlink to a/b-2, then merges that change into the 'baseline' commit,
which contains an unrelated change.

There are two bugs:
1. 'git checkout' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
2. 'git merge' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.

The test goes on to create another branch in which a/b-2 is replaced
with a symlink to a/b (i.e., the reverse of what was done the first
time), and merge it into the 'baseline' commit.

There is a different bug:
3. The merge should be clean, but git reports a conflict.

Ok, one more try.  I added Junio's latest feedback, and also added more checks
for correct merge results after each merge.  For the merges that incorrectly
report conflicts, those checks won't be executed since the conflict stops the
test.  If/when the bug causing the merge conflict is fixed, it will become
important to check the merge results, so those checks might as well be there
from the beginning.
