[PATCH v5 06/12] merge-tree: support including merge messages in output

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

 



From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>

When running `git merge-tree --write-tree`, we previously would only
return an exit status reflecting the cleanness of a merge, and print out
the toplevel tree of the resulting merge.  Merges also have
informational messages, such as:
  * "Auto-merging <PATH>"
  * "CONFLICT (content): ..."
  * "CONFLICT (file/directory)"
  * etc.
In fact, when non-content conflicts occur (such as file/directory,
modify/delete, add/add with differing modes, rename/rename (1to2),
etc.), these informational messages may be the only notification the
user gets since these conflicts are not representable in the contents
of the file.

Add a --[no-]messages option so that callers can request these messages
be included at the end of the output.  Include such messages by default
when there are conflicts, and omit them by default when the merge is
clean.

+By default, for a successful merge, the output from git-merge-tree is

-The printed tree object corresponds to what would be checked out in

+OID of toplevel tree
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a tree object that represents what would be checked out in the
+working tree at the end of `git merge`.  If there were conflicts, then
+files within this tree may have embedded conflict markers.
+
+Informational messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This always starts with a blank line to separate it from the previous
+section, and then has free-form messages about the merge, such as:
+
+  * "Auto-merging <file>"
+  * "CONFLICT (rename/delete): <oldfile> renamed...but deleted in..."
