The recent rewrite of the 'git merge' invocation in b5f325cb (git-gui: stop using deprecated merge syntax) replaced the subsidiary call of 'git fmt-merge-msg' to take advantage of the capability of 'git merge' that can construct a merge log message when the rev being merged is FETCH_HEAD. A disadvantage of this method is, though, that the conflict markers are augmented with a raw SHA1 instead of a symbolic branch name. Revert to the former invocation style so that we get both a useful commit message and a symbolic name in the conflict markers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@xxxxxxxx> --- A minor regression of our effort to get rid of deprecated merge syntax. Even though I had done a number of merges since then, I noticed this only today because I actively looked for the branch name. lib/merge.tcl | 13 +++---------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/merge.tcl b/lib/merge.tcl index 9f253db..39e3fb4 100644 --- a/lib/merge.tcl +++ b/lib/merge.tcl @@ -112,16 +112,9 @@ method _start {} { close $fh set _last_merged_branch $branch - if {[git-version >= "2.5.0"]} { - set cmd [list git merge --strategy=recursive FETCH_HEAD] - } else { - set cmd [list git] - lappend cmd merge - lappend cmd --strategy=recursive - lappend cmd [git fmt-merge-msg <[gitdir FETCH_HEAD]] - lappend cmd HEAD - lappend cmd $name - } + set cmd [list git merge --strategy=recursive --no-log -m] + lappend cmd [git fmt-merge-msg <[gitdir FETCH_HEAD]] + lappend cmd $name ui_status [mc "Merging %s and %s..." $current_branch $stitle] set cons [console::new [mc "Merge"] "merge $stitle"] -- 2.11.0.rc1.52.g65ffb51
