The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
Always lock the index when we begin the merge, before we write
any of the metdata files. This prevents a race where another
client may run a commit after we have written the MERGE_HEAD but
before we have updated the index, which will produce a merge
commit that is treesame to one parent. The merge will finish and
update the index and the resultant commit would not be a merge at
all.
Correct the merge failed cleanup test. Merge data should not be
cleaned up on conflicts, only on actual failure. And ORIG_HEAD
should not be removed at all.
git_checkout_index can now check out other git_index's (that are not
necessarily the repository index). This allows checkout_index to use
the repository's index for stat cache information instead of the index
data being checked out. git_merge and friends now check out their
indexes directly instead of trying to blend it into the running index.
The "merge none" (don't automerge) flag was only to aide in
merge trivial tests. We can easily determine whether merge
trivial resulted in a trivial merge or an automerge by examining
the REUC after automerge has completed.
The default merge_file level was XDL_MERGE_MINIMAL, which will
produce conflicts where there should not be in the case where
both sides were changed identically. Change the defaults to be
more aggressive (XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS) which will more aggressively
compress non-conflicts. This matches git.git's defaults.
Increase testing around reverting a previously reverted commit to
illustrate this problem.
Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the
reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent
by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
