From 17cd29b25c0f480a3c6e1dd9617d9c6046e3c280 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:42:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] merge-recursive: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinks Commit 3af244ca added unlink(2) before running symlink(2) to update the working tree with the merge result, but it was unlinking a wrong path. This resulted in loss of the path pointed by a symlink.
