[PATCH v2] git-mv: improve error message for conflicted file

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

 



From: Chris Torek <chris.torek@xxxxxxxxx>

'git mv' has always complained about renaming a conflicted
file, as it cannot handle multiple index entries for one file.
However, the error message it uses has been the same as the
one for an untracked file:

    fatal: not under version control, src=...

which is patently wrong.  Distinguish the two cases and
add a test to make sure we produce the correct message.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Tests updated, and took Junio's suggestion to reduce the cache lookup to
    one call.
    
    I put in the shortened "conflicted" here but did not shorten the
    existing "not under version control" message (to minimize the visible
    and translations-required changes).
    
    I like the idea of renaming all stages and keeping them at their current
    stages, but that's too much for this patch.
    
    I'll be traveling next week and not sure if I will get to any followups
    for a while.
