Request for adding a "clean" merge strategy for a double-commit merge to deal with conflicts separately

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

 



Hi,

Even though the merge commit's message includes conflicted files by
default, the *resolution* itself is lost, that is, it's hard or
impossible to review how the author *resolved* said conflicts.

The proposal is that an option like `-X clean` would commit a clean
merge and leave out any conflicting hunks in the tree for a follow-up
commit to resolve conflicts.

That would be extremely helpful for a code reviewer to see how a
possibly external contributor has dealt with upstream changes e.g. in
a long-standing branch.

Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alireza
