git-merge-cache(1)
==================
v0.1, May 2005
NAME
----
git-merge-cache - Runs a merge for files needing merging
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-merge-cache' [-o] <merge-program> (-a | -- | <file>\*)
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This looks up the <file>(s) in the cache and, if there are any merge
entries, passes the SHA1 hash for those files as arguments 1, 2, 3 (empty
argument if no file), and <file> as argument 4. File modes for the three
files are passed as arguments 5, 6 and 7.
OPTIONS
-------
--::
Interpret all future arguments as filenames.
-a::
Run merge against all files in the cache that need merging.
-o::
Instead of stopping at the first failed merge, do all of them
in one shot - continue with merging even when previous merges
returned errors, and only return the error code after all the
merges are over.
If "git-merge-cache" is called with multiple <file>s (or -a) then it
processes them in turn only stopping if merge returns a non-zero exit
code.
Typically this is run with the a script calling the merge command from
the RCS package.
A sample script called "git-merge-one-file-script" is included in the
ditribution.
ALERT ALERT ALERT! The git "merge object order" is different from the
RCS "merge" program merge object order. In the above ordering, the
original is first. But the argument order to the 3-way merge program
"merge" is to have the original in the middle. Don't ask me why.
Examples:
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git-merge-cache cat MM
This is MM from the original tree. # original
This is modified MM in the branch A. # merge1
This is modified MM in the branch B. # merge2
This is modified MM in the branch B. # current contents
or
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git-merge-cache cat AA MM
cat: : No such file or directory
This is added AA in the branch A.
This is added AA in the branch B.
This is added AA in the branch B.
fatal: merge program failed
where the latter example shows how "git-merge-cache" will stop trying to
merge once anything has returned an error (ie "cat" returned an error
for the AA file, because it didn't exist in the original, and thus
"git-merge-cache" didn't even try to merge the MM thing).
