[PATCHv6 22/23] cmd_merge(): Parse options before checking MERGE_HEAD

From
Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>
Date
Nov 9, 2010, 21:49 UTC
Message-ID
<1289339399-4733-23-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>
In-Reply-To
<1289339399-4733-1-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>

Reorder the initial part of builtin/merge.c:cmd_merge() so that command-line options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD (and exits if it exists). This does not change the behaviour of 'git merge', but is needed in preparation for the implementation of 'git merge --abort' (which requires MERGE_HEAD to be present).

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Junio C Hamano: fixup minor style issues
