# [PATCH 1/2] checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly 4 messages from 2008-08-29 to 2008-08-30. Participants: Junio C Hamano. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/15277 ## Junio C Hamano, 2008-08-29 21:39 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly Message-ID: <7vbpzb4i1h.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vbpzb4i1h.fsf%40gitster.siamese.dyndns.org ``` During a conflicted merge when you have unmerged stages for a path F in the index, if you asked: $ git checkout F we rewrote F as many times as we have stages for it, and the last one (typically "theirs") was left in the work tree, without resolving the conflict. This patch fixes it by noticing that a specified pathspec pattern matches an unmerged path, and by erroring out.

This patch allows: $ git checkout -f a b c to ignore, instead of erroring out on, such unmerged paths. The fix to prevent checkout of an unmerged path from random stages is still there.

We can enhance the behaviour of checkout out of the index during a conflicted merge by doing the following, which is the reason why I stumbled upon this bug that was fixed by these two patches: * Teach "git checkout --ours", "git checkout ---theirs" so that stages 2 and stages 3 for unmerged paths are checked out (and possibly resolve the conflict). * Teach "git checkout --merge" to redo the file level merge between stages 1/2/3, and update the work tree with the result. ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2008-08-30 18:02 Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly Message-ID: <7v1w06ido7.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v1w06ido7.fsf%40gitster.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <7vbpzb4i1h.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Junio C Hamano writes: > During a conflicted merge when you have unmerged stages for a path F in > the index, if you asked: > > $ git checkout F > > we rewrote F as many times as we have stages for it, and the last one > (typically "theirs") was left in the work tree, without resolving the > conflict. > > This patch fixes it by noticing that a specified pathspec pattern matches > an unmerged path, and by erroring out. The patch claims that it is a bugfix, but I have a slight worry that somebody might be depending on this broken behaviour in their workflow. $ git pull Conflicts in foo.c (modify/modify) .. Eeek, conflicts. My changes are always crap, and I trust my .. upstream more than I trust myself, so I'll take advantage of .. the bug to check out "their" version. $ git checkout foo.c In modify/modify case, because we will have stage #3 (state after their change), that will be the version you will get as the final result of this broken behaviour of "checkout". This patch alone will make the above to check out "theirs" an error. In a later one in the series, you can still say: $ git checkout --theirs foo.c ;# or "git checkout -3 foo.c" to get the feature back, at the same time you will now be able to say $ git checkout --ours foo.c ;# or "git checkout -2 foo.c" for symmetry (admittably, it is the same thing as "git checkout HEAD foo.c"). So we _could_ choose to stay backward compatible by leaving this "bug" unattended without loss of ability to checkout either theirs or ours, even though without fixing this, you cannot sanely add "git checkout -m foo.c" feature that comes later in the updated series, which allows you to go back to the original conflicted state after you (or rerere) messed up the working tree state. Thoughts? ```
