From 381b851c9b010147bb1fa83a013b7c8f60419026 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:19:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] merge-file: handle empty files gracefully Earlier, it would error out while trying to read and/or writing them. Now, calling merge-file with empty files is neither interesting nor useful, but it is a bug that needed fixing. Noticed by Clemens Buchacher.
