git notes merge: Add automatic conflict resolvers (ours, theirs, union)
The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user
to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid
strategies to choose from:
1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts.
This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented
properly in future patches.
2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and
discards the remote version.
3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and
discards the local version.
4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote
version to the local version.
The strategies are implemented using the combine_notes_* functions from the
notes.h API.
The patch also includes testcases verifying the correct implementation of
these strategies.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Stephen Boyd: Use correct option name
