Reorder the initial part of builtin/merge.c:cmd_merge() so that command-line options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD (and exits if it exists). This does not change the behaviour of 'git merge', but is needed in preparation for the implementation of 'git merge --abort' (which requires MERGE_HEAD to be present). Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- In the previous version of this patch, I somehow managed to misplace parts of t7609 here instead of in the next commit. Fixed now. Otherwise, no changes. ...Johan builtin/merge.c | 33 +++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c index 37ce4f5..702f399 100644 --- a/builtin/merge.c +++ b/builtin/merge.c @@ -895,22 +895,6 @@ int cmd_merge(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) const char *best_strategy = NULL, *wt_strategy = NULL; struct commit_list **remotes = &remoteheads; - if (read_cache_unmerged()) { - die_resolve_conflict("merge"); - } - if (file_exists(git_path("MERGE_HEAD"))) { - /* - * There is no unmerged entry, don't advise 'git - * add/rm <file>', just 'git commit'. - */ - if (advice_resolve_conflict) - die("You have not concluded your merge (MERGE_HEAD exists).\n" - "Please, commit your changes before you can merge."); - else - die("You have not concluded your merge (MERGE_HEAD exists)."); - } - - resolve_undo_clear(); /* * Check if we are _not_ on a detached HEAD, i.e. if there is a * current branch. @@ -929,6 +913,23 @@ int cmd_merge(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, builtin_merge_options, builtin_merge_usage, 0); + + if (read_cache_unmerged()) { + die_resolve_conflict("merge"); + } + if (file_exists(git_path("MERGE_HEAD"))) { + /* + * There is no unmerged entry, don't advise 'git + * add/rm <file>', just 'git commit'. + */ + if (advice_resolve_conflict) + die("You have not concluded your merge (MERGE_HEAD exists).\n" + "Please, commit your changes before you can merge."); + else + die("You have not concluded your merge (MERGE_HEAD exists)."); + } + resolve_undo_clear(); + if (verbosity < 0) show_diffstat = 0; -- 1.7.3.2.173.gab1c9.dirty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
