Hi,

although it is good practice to have a clean working tree before pulling / merging, my understanding of

"In particular, the local modifications you had before you started merge will stay the same and the index entries for them stay as they were, i.e. matching HEAD."

from [1] is that my local unstaged changes to a file known to Git should not get lost during a merge (especially if there a no conflicts in the file that's modified locally).

It seems I can reproduce a case where this is not true. Here's what I do:

# Checkout a branch
$ git co -b marianne 45e0d23bf1a6bf62e3317a691385e0f1a7b279ea

$ git status
# On branch marianne
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

$ git log --oneline hxprofile1d/HxComputeProfileAlongAxis.cpp
45e0d23 hxprofile1d: [Fix] errors according to move of files
3509d94 hxprofile1d: moved files from package hxneuralnetwork to hxprofile1d

# Add some stuff to the end of the existing file.
$ vim hxprofile1d/HxComputeProfileAlongAxis.cpp

$ git status
# On branch marianne
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   hxprofile1d/HxComputeProfileAlongAxis.cpp
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

$ git merge 569e443faf5ae773af1c8eedfefa41ebfd066171

# On branch marianne
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Do, although there were no conflicts during the merge, and the merge does not seem to touch hxprofile1d/HxComputeProfileAlongAxis.cpp, the local changes in that file are gone. I'm seeing this on Linux and Windows, with versions 1.7.4.3 and 1.7.6.

I'd say this is not expected, or am I missing something?

There recently have been quite a change in merge-recursive implementation
and it would be really nice if you can try this again with the tip of
'master' before 1.7.7 final ships.

Thanks.

The unstaged changes do not seem to get lost during the merge anymore
when using git version 1.7.7.rc3.4.g8d714 on Linux. I guess that
somewhat confirms that there's a bug in git < 1.7.7. I'll write a word
of warning to our in-house git users that they should always commit
before merging ...

It seems I'm not the only one who lost code due to this bug. For a more 
detailed analysis see this blog post:

http://benno.id.au/blog/2011/10/01/git-recursive-merge-broken

As it turns out, my use case also involves a rename of the file in which 
changes were lost. And just like for the blog's author it somewhat 
concerns me and shakes my confidence in Git for how long this severe bug 
slipped through undetected.

Khmmm... perhaps Mercurial was right in its transaction-based
atomicity (that allows to safely merge even if there are local
changes; not theough that I have doubts if it is sane behavior)
;-)

I wonder if it would be possible to get some Comp. Sci. student, or
graduate, or postdoc, to analyse formally the recursive merge
algorithm.  And to *prove* that it is correct (or not).

3 hours-worth of work just got whacked by this bug. Unimpressed :-(

Could have been worse I suppose. Thanks for the confirmation.
