In merge-recursive.c, whenever there was a rename where a file name on one side of the rename matches a directory name on the other side of the merge, then the very first check that string_list_has_string(&o->current_directory_set, ren1_dst) would trigger forcing it into marking it as a rename/directory conflict. However, if the path is only renamed on one side and a simple three-way merge between the separate files resolves cleanly, then we don't need to mark it as a rename/directory conflict. So, we can simply move the check for rename/directory conflicts after we've verified that there isn't a rename/rename conflict and that a threeway content merge doesn't work. This changes the particular error message one gets in the case where the directory name that a file on one side of the rename matches is not also part of the rename pair. For example, with commits containing the files: COMMON -> (HEAD, MERGE ) --------- --------------- ------- sub/file1 -> (sub/file1, newsub) <NULL> -> (newsub/newfile, <NULL>) then previously when one tried to merge MERGE into HEAD, one would get CONFLICT (rename/directory): Rename sub/file1->newsub in HEAD directory newsub added in merge Renaming sub/file1 to newsub~HEAD instead Adding newsub/newfile Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. After this patch, the error message will instead become: Removing newsub Adding newsub/newfile CONFLICT (file/directory): There is a directory with name newsub in merge. Adding newsub as newsub~HEAD Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. That makes more sense to me, because git can't know that there's a conflict until after it's tried resolving paths involving newsub/newfile to see if they are still in the way at the end (and if newsub/newfile is not in the way at the end, there should be no conflict at all, which did not hold with git previously).

GIT - the stupid content tracker

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
