I would have preferred something like this: if (!index_only && merge_recursive_variants == MERGE_RECURSIVE_OURS) favor = XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_OURS; if (!index_only && merge_recursive_variants == MERGE_RECURSIVE_THEIRS) favor = XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_THEIRS; else favor = 0; > + } > + flag = LL_MERGE_FLAGS(index_only, favor); > + > merge_status = ll_merge(result_buf, a->path, &orig, > &src1, name1, &src2, name2, > - index_only); > + flag); Sorry, but in my opinion this flag mangling makes the whole code uglier. Why not just add another parameter? Or if you are really concerned about future enhancements to ll_merge(), use a struct. > @@ -1379,11 +1401,18 @@ int cmd_merge_recursive(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > struct lock_file *lock = xcalloc(1, sizeof(struct lock_file)); > int index_fd; > > + merge_recursive_variants = 0; > if (argv[0]) { > int namelen = strlen(argv[0]); > if (8 < namelen && > !strcmp(argv[0] + namelen - 8, "-subtree")) > - subtree_merge = 1; > + merge_recursive_variants = MERGE_RECURSIVE_SUBTREE; > + else if (5 < namelen && > + !strcmp(argv[0] + namelen - 5, "-ours")) > + merge_recursive_variants = MERGE_RECURSIVE_OURS; > + else if (7 < namelen && > + !strcmp(argv[0] + namelen - 7, "-theirs")) > + merge_recursive_variants = MERGE_RECURSIVE_THEIRS; This just cries out loud for a new function suffixcmp(). I will not say anything about the long lines in git-merge.sh, since I fully expect builtin-merge to happen Real Soon Now. Anyhow, your comments about this driving the wrong workflow still apply. Maybe we want to display them really, really prominently in Documentation/merge-strategies.txt.
