Not in this patch, but in the file right now there's this part that stands out: if [ "$2" ]; then echo "Removing $4" I think that expression would read more clearly as: if test -n "$2" then echo "Removing $4" Ditto `if [ "$1" = '' ]` is better written as `test -z "$1"`. Can you please send a patch to true these up? It'd be especially nice if the style patch could come first, followed by the fixes/features ;-) > git-merge-one-file.sh | 20 +++++++------------- > 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/git-merge-one-file.sh b/git-merge-one-file.sh > index 0f164e5..78b07a8 100755 > --- a/git-merge-one-file.sh > +++ b/git-merge-one-file.sh > @@ -104,11 +104,13 @@ case "${1:-.}${2:-.}${3:-.}" in > ;; > esac > > + ret=0 > src1=$(git-unpack-file $2) > src2=$(git-unpack-file $3) > case "$1" in > '') > - echo "Added $4 in both, but differently." > + echo "ERROR: Added $4 in both, but differently." > + ret=1 > orig=$(git-unpack-file $2) > create_virtual_base "$orig" "$src2" > ;; > @@ -121,10 +123,9 @@ case "${1:-.}${2:-.}${3:-.}" in > # Be careful for funny filename such as "-L" in "$4", which > # would confuse "merge" greatly. > git merge-file "$src1" "$orig" "$src2" > - ret=$? > - msg= > - if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then > - msg='content conflict' > + if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then > + echo "ERROR: Content conflict in $4" > + ret=1 if test $? != 0 then Also.. should this error not go to stderr? I guess the existing script was not doing that, but it seems like anything that says "ERROR" should go there. > fi > > # Create the working tree file, using "our tree" version from the > @@ -133,18 +134,11 @@ case "${1:-.}${2:-.}${3:-.}" in > rm -f -- "$orig" "$src1" "$src2" > > if [ "$6" != "$7" ]; then > - if [ -n "$msg" ]; then > - msg="$msg, " > - fi > - msg="${msg}permissions conflict: $5->$6,$7" > - ret=1 > - fi > - if [ "$1" = '' ]; then > + echo "ERROR: Permissions conflict: $5->$6,$7" > ret=1 > fi > > if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then > - echo "ERROR: $msg in $4" > exit 1 > fi > exec git update-index -- "$4" same notes as above. I think a style patch should come first. -- David -- 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
