The following patch fixes the problem described above, but it also breaks t6023-merge-rename-nocruft.sh, which tries to merge "A" renamed to "B" in HEAD and "A" modified in MERGE_HEAD, while ignoring an untracked file "A" in the working tree. If we want to be able to do this, we have to handle the other case after rename detection. --- unpack-trees.c | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/unpack-trees.c b/unpack-trees.c index 54f301d..de5b616 100644 --- a/unpack-trees.c +++ b/unpack-trees.c @@ -859,6 +859,9 @@ int threeway_merge(struct cache_entry **stages, struct unpack_trees_options *o) if (index) { if (verify_uptodate(index, o)) return -1; + } else if (remote && !remote_match) { + if (verify_absent(remote, "overwritten", o)) + return -1; } o->nontrivial_merge = 1; -- 1.6.1.rc2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
