From 19c6a4f8369f37c0df1fb57008a891eb6a6dc4bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:38:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] merge-recursive: do not return NULL only to cause segfault merge-recursive calls write_tree_from_memory() to come up with a virtual tree, with possible conflict markers inside the blob contents, while merging multiple common ancestors down. It is a bug to call the function with unmerged entries in the index, even if the merge to come up with the common ancestor resulted in conflicts. Otherwise the result won't be expressible as a tree object. We _might_ want to suggest the user to set GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY to 5 and re-run the merge in the message. At least we will know which part of process_renames() or process_entry() functions is not correctly handling the unmerged paths, and it might help us diagnosing the issue.
