When a merge conflicts, there are often common lines that are not really
common, such as empty lines or lines containing a single curly bracket.
With XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM, we use the following heuristics: when a
hunk does not contain any letters or digits, it is treated as conflicting.
In other words, a conflict which used to look like this:
<<<<<<<
a = 1;
=======
output();
>>>>>>>
}
}
}
<<<<<<<
output();
=======
b = 1;
>>>>>>>
will look like this with ZEALOUS_ALNUM:
<<<<<<<
a = 1;
}
}
}
output();
=======
output();
}
}
}
b = 1;
>>>>>>>
To demonstrate this, git-merge-file has been switched from
XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS to XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM.
