Sometimes when working with a large repository it can be useful to try out a merge and only check out conflicting files to disk (for example as a speed optimization on a server). Until v1.7.7-rc1~28^2~20 (merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip it, 2011-08-11), it was possible to do so with the following idiom: # Prepare a temporary index and empty work tree. GIT_INDEX_FILE="$PWD/tmp-$$-index" && export GIT_INDEX_FILE && GIT_WORK_TREE="$PWD/tmp-$$-work" && export GIT_WORK_TREE && mkdir "$GIT_WORK_TREE" && # Convince the index that our side is on disk. git read-tree -i -m $ours && git update-index --ignore-missing --refresh && # Merge their side into our side. bases=$(git merge-base --all $ours $theirs) && git merge-recursive $bases -- $ours $theirs && tree=$(git write-tree) Nowadays, that still works and the exit status is the same, but merge-recursive produces a diagnostic if "our" side renamed a file: error: addinfo_cache failed for path 'dst' Add a test to document this regression.
