Now, _that_ is funny.  I tested before sending, and my test suit runs just 
fine.

I have to admit that I wanted you to fix that patch, instead of me, 
because you were already researching the issue.

Looks much better.

So you only set clean = 0 if o->mode == 0, i.e. the file did not exist?  
That was not what I had in mind.  I would have expected that "if (a->mode 
!= b->mode)" to come _before_ the assignment to result.mode, which should 
have been left alone.

The rationale would have been this:

If the modes are different, the merge is not clean.

If the SHA-1s differ, the merge is not clean, and xld_merge() should be 
called.

Why do you still compare to o->sha1?

/me goes looking in the original source, since the issue and the fix does 
not become apparent from your patch, including the commit message.

Oh, okay.

You are reusing a _different_ case, which just happens to have the same 
outcome.

In a perfect world, this would have a one-line comment above to explain 
issues.

The point is not that they are empty.  Maybe you want to fix that message.
