From 7ca56aa07619b0345b643e52ae8e616cbaafc187 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:52:21 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] merge-recursive: add a label for ancestor MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit git merge-recursive (and hence git merge) will present conflict hunks in output something like what ‘diff3 -m’ produces if the merge.conflictstyle configuration option is set to diff3. There is a small difference from diff3: diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on the ||||||| line. Tools familiar with the format and humans unfamiliar with the format both can benefit from such a label. So mark the start of the text from the merge bases with the heading "||||||| merged common ancestors". It would be nicer to use a more informative label. Perhaps someone will provide one some day. git rerere does not have trouble parsing the new output, and its preimage ids are unchanged since it has its own code for re-creating conflict hunks. No other code in git parses conflict hunks.
