[PATCH v2] sequencer: avoid garbled merge machinery messages due to commit labels

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

 



From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>

sequencer's get_message() exists to provide good labels on conflict
hunks; see commits
  d68565402a ("revert: clarify label on conflict hunks", 2010-03-20)
  bf975d379d ("cherry-pick, revert: add a label for ancestor", 2010-03-20)
  043a4492b3 ("sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin", 2012-01-11).
for background on this function.  These labels are of the form
  <commitID>... <commit summary>
or
  parent of <commitID>... <commit summary>
These labels are then passed as branch names to the merge machinery.
However, these labels, as formatted, often also serve to confuse.  For
example, if we have a rename involved in a content merge, then it
results in text such as the following:

    <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
      int j;
    ========
      int counter;
    >>>>>>>> b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff:bar.c

Or in various conflict messages, it can make it very difficult to read:

    CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface... Removed
    unnecessary stuff and renamed in HEAD.  Version HEAD of foo.c left
    in tree.

    CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface... Removed
    unnecessary stuff inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD,
    suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.

Make a minor change to remove the ellipses and add parentheses around
the commit summary; this makes all three examples much easier to read:

    <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
      int j;
    ========
      int counter;
    >>>>>>>> b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff):bar.c

    CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface (Removed
    unnecessary stuff) and renamed in HEAD.  Version HEAD of foo.c left
    in tree.

    CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface (Removed
    unnecessary stuff) inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD,
    suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.
