[PATCH v2 3/3] merge-recursive.c: Tolerate missing files while refreshing index

From
Brad King <brad.king@kitware.com>
Date
Jan 24, 2014, 20:10 UTC
Message-ID
<92b0b0310b762276db23161d34ba94a86fd67139.1390592626.git.brad.king@kitware.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1390592626.git.brad.king@kitware.com>

Teach add_cacheinfo to tell make_cache_entry to skip refreshing stat information when a file is missing from the work tree. We do not want the index to be stat-dirty after the merge but also do not want to fail when a file happens to be missing.

This fixes the 'merge-recursive w/ empty work tree - ours has rename' case in t3030-merge-recursive.
