[PATCH 29/48] merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip it

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

 



In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20),
there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in
the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the
current working copy.  Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts
that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first
updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual
merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function
that ran later in the merge process.  As part moving the content merging
code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping
the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently
high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy
anyway.

When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working
copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating
the working copy.

Note that there was a similar change in b2c8c0a (merge-recursive: When we
detect we can skip an update, actually skip it 2011-02-28), but it was
reverted by 6db4105 (Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'"
2011-05-19) since it did not fix both of the relevant types of unnecessary
update breakages and, worse, it made use of some band-aids that caused
other problems.  The reason this change works is due to the changes of the
last few patches to (a) record_df_conflict_files instead of just unlinking
them early, (b) allowing make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entries, and
(c) the splitting of update_stages_and_entry() to have its functionality
called at different points.
