From c0c2a37ac2b9338c3a93340cbcbab69690da4df0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerry Zhang Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 19:13:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git-apply: allow simultaneous --cached and --3way options "git apply" does not allow "--cached" and "--3way" to be used together, since "--3way" writes conflict markers into the working tree. Allow "git apply" to accept "--cached" and "--3way" at the same time. When a single file auto-resolves cleanly, the result is placed in the index at stage #0 and the command exits with 0 status. For a file that has a conflict which cannot be cleanly auto-resolved, the original contents from common ancestor (stage conflict at the content level, and the command exists with non-zero status, because there is no place (like the working tree) to leave a half-resolved merge for the user to resolve. The user can use `git diff` to view the contents of the conflict, or `git checkout -m -- .` to regenerate the conflict markers in the working directory. Don't attempt rerere in this case since it depends on conflict markers written to file for its database storage and lookup. There would be two main changes required to get rerere working: 1. Allow the rerere api to accept in memory object rather than files, which would allow us to pass in the conflict markers contained in the result from ll_merge(). 2. Rerere can't write to the working directory, so it would have to apply the result to cache stage #0 directly. A flag would be needed to control this.
