So: conflicts from unmerged index entries are supposed to be kept in the work tree; but unpack_trees() is checking too early and seeing conflicts where there are none. Do I understand correctly? > This fixes part of test case "read-tree adds to worktree, dirty case". A summary might help people who do not remember the test: So attempting to add a file outside the checkout area where there is a file already present (as in t1011.13 "read-tree adds to worktree, dirty case") will no longer error out with error: Untracked working tree file 'sub/added' would be overwritten by merge. but instead will remove the file.
