[PATCH 3/5 v2] merge-recursive: distinguish "removed" and "overwritten" messages

From
Matthieu Moy <matthieu.moy@imag.fr>
Date
Aug 11, 2010, 08:38 UTC
Message-ID
<1281515888-31089-3-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>
In-Reply-To
<vpq8w4fse8w.fsf@bauges.imag.fr>

To limit the number of possible error messages, the error messages for the case would_lose_untracked_file and would_lose_orphaned in unpack_trees_options.msgs were handled with a single string, parameterized by an action string ("overwritten" or "removed").

Instead, we consider them as two different cases, with unparameterized string. This will make it easier to make separate lists sorted by error types later.

Only the bind_overlap case still takes two %s parameters, but that's unavoidable.
