Hi,
In an octopus merge, with conflicts in the last step, the conflict markers
look like this:
<<<<<<< .merge_file_2An9iT
... our side ...
||||||| .merge_file_5k594S
... ancestral version ...
=======
... their side ....
>>>>>>> .merge_file_uWPh0U
It would be better to use meaningful labels to describe the three
participants in the merge.
The relevant code is in git-merge-one-file.sh:
# Be careful for funny filename such as "-L" in "$4", which
# would confuse "merge" greatly.
src1=`git-unpack-file $2`
git merge-file "$src1" "$orig" "$src2"
ret=$?
msg=
if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then
msg='content conflict'
fi
# Create the working tree file, using "our tree" version from the
# index, and then store the result of the merge.
git checkout-index -f --stage=2 -- "$4" && cat "$src1" >"$4"
rm -f -- "$orig" "$src1" "$src2"
Perhaps merge-one-file should get optional "label" arguments, making this
git merge-file -L "$9" -L "$8" -L "$10" "$src1" "$orig" "$src2"
