Commit 4d4d572, "status: show worktree status of conflicted paths separately" introduced the following bug: If one tries to merge two branches with a conflict, where the conflicting file was also copied in one of the branches, "git status" (but not "git status -sb" or git-gui) fails to report the unmerged status. You can use the below test file to see the error. A similar test should probably be integrated into one of the existing git-status test files, though you may need to get rid of the "sed -i" command. $ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # # renamed: file -> copy # $ git status -sb ## master R file -> copy U file In the above, "git status" should have reported "file" being in an unmerged state. It probably should also mark "copy" as a copy, not a rename. -------- 8< -------- #!/bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2011 Mark Lodato # test_description='git status on merge with copy' . ./test-lib.sh test_expect_success 'setup' ' echo first > file && echo second >> file && echo third >> file && echo fourth >> file && git add file && git commit -m initial && git checkout -b branch && cp file copy && git add copy && git commit -m copy && sed -i -e "s/second/fifth/" file && git add file && git commit -m fifth && git checkout master && sed -i -e "s/second/sixth/" file && git add file && git commit -m sixth ' test_expect_success 'merge' ' ! git merge branch ' test_expect_success 'status' ' git status | grep unmerged ' test_done -- 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
