[PATCH v3 07/11] merge-octopus: rewrite in C

From
Alban Gruin <alban.gruin@gmail.com>
Date
Oct 5, 2020, 12:26 UTC
Message-ID
<20201005122646.27994-8-alban.gruin@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20201005122646.27994-1-alban.gruin@gmail.com>

This rewrites `git merge-octopus' from shell to C. As for the two last conversions, this port removes calls to external processes to avoid reading and writing the index over and over again.

 - Calls to `read-tree -u -m (--aggressive)?' are replaced by calls to
   unpack_trees().
 - The call to `write-tree' is replaced by a call to
   write_index_as_tree().
 - The call to `diff-index ...' is replaced by a call to
   repo_index_has_changes(), and is moved from cmd_merge_octopus() to
   merge_octopus().
 - The call to `merge-index', needed to invoke `git merge-one-file', is
   replaced by a call to merge_all().

The index is read in cmd_merge_octopus(), and is wrote back by merge_strategies_octopus().

Here to, merge_strategies_octopus() takes two commit lists and a string to reduce frictions when try_merge_strategies() will be modified to call it directly.
