Hi everyone,
I'd like to change add/add conflict resolution. Currently when such a
conflict occurs (say at ${path}), git unconditionally does a two-way
merge of the two files and sticks the result in the working tree at
${path}.
I would like to make it instead first check whether the two files are
similar; if they are, then do the two-way merge, but if they're not,
then instead write the two files out to separate paths (${path}~HEAD
and ${path}~$MERGE, while making sure that ${path} is removed from the
working copy).
Thoughts?
I have a patch series[1] with more details and other changes, but
wanted to especially get feedback on this issue even from folks that
didn't have enough time to read the patches or even the cover letter.
Thanks,
Elijah
