[RFC PATCH 0/2] Fix unnecessary updates of files during merge

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

 



This patch series adds a simple testcase demonstrating the problem
reported by Stephen Rothwell, and a fix.  Unfortunately, there's a bug
with the fix (hence the RFC) that makes the relevant files racily clean
rather than clearly clean (i.e. 'git diff-files' will report these files
as modified when it shouldn't).

I'll try to figure out how to fix the second problem in the next few
days.  If anyone has some hints, I'm all ears.

  t6022: New test checking for unnecessary updates of renamed+modified
    files
  merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip
    it
