Shawn PearceMore merge-recursive woes
Today I found two new bugs in git-merge-recursive. I'm still researching them, but I at least have a test case for one of the two:
Bug #1: If one branch renames a file which existed in the merge base, when we merge that change into a different branch the old version of the file is not deleted from the working directory. The attached test script shows this ("BAD: A still exists in working directory").
Bug #2: In that horrible repository that I have where I ran into the empty tree missing bug I now have a pair of commits which when merged together cause git-merge-recursive to go into an infinite loop, or least burn CPU for hours on end without doing squat. I have not been able to get enough data to even write a good analysis of it yet. I'll try to do that this week, as I cannot share the repository itself. It just happens to be two new commits along the same two branches however. :-(
Both bugs are appearing with current 'next' (8662d0ea).
After I eat something and weed through my inbox I may take a stab at the first one, if I haven't passed out on the couch. :-)
