I'll reword the above to de-stress "the index" when I queue this patch, as this is not about the index anymore. Also I do not think you "silently ignore" the "-u" option. Don't you check what would happen when "-u" is given and checking out the merge result would overwrite the file in the working tree? In that scenario, "-u" actively participates in the dry-run check you implemented. > diff --git a/t/lib-read-tree.sh b/t/lib-read-tree.sh > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000..435d19c > --- /dev/null > +++ b/t/lib-read-tree.sh > @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ > +#!/bin/sh > +# > +# Helper functions to check if read-tree would succeed/fail as expected with > +# and without the dry-run option.
