Implement rename/rename(1to1) handling, i.e. both sides of history renaming a file but renaming the same way. This code replaces the following from merge-recurisve.c: * all the 1to1 code in process_renames() * the RENAME_ONE_FILE_TO_ONE case of process_entry() Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or other rename cases): * handle_rename_normal() * setup_rename_conflict_info() The consolidation of four separate codepaths into one is made possible by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then handle all the non-rename conflict types (directory/file, modify/delete, etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see commits brought in by66c62eaec6("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'", 2020-11-18), especially commitef52778708("merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details). That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically simplifies the code for various special rename cases.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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 version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.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).
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 (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). 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 https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (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
