| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This command has a modern <code>--write-tree</code> mode and a deprecated |
| <code>--trivial-merge</code> mode. With the exception of the |
| <a href="#DEPMERGE">DEPRECATED DESCRIPTION</a> section at the end, the rest of |
| this documentation describes the modern <code>--write-tree</code> mode.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Performs a merge, but does not make any new commits and does not read |
| from or write to either the working tree or index.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The performed merge will use the same features as the "real" |
| <a href="git-merge.html">git-merge(1)</a>, including:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="ulist"> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>three way content merges of individual files</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>rename detection</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>proper directory/file conflict handling</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>recursive ancestor consolidation (i.e. when there is more than one |
| merge base, creating a virtual merge base by merging the merge bases)</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>etc.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>After the merge completes, a new toplevel tree object is created. See |
| <code>OUTPUT</code> below for details.</p> |
| </div> |
| </div> |

| <div class="sect1"> |
| <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="dlist"> |
| <dl> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--stdin</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Read the commits to merge from the standard input rather than |
| the command-line. See <a href="#INPUT">INPUT FORMAT</a> below for more |
| information. Implies <code>-z</code>.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-z</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Do not quote filenames in the <Conflicted file info> section, |
| and end each filename with a NUL character rather than |
| newline. Also begin the messages section with a NUL character |
| instead of a newline. See <a href="#OUTPUT">OUTPUT</a> below for more |
| information.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--name-only</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>In the Conflicted file info section, instead of writing a list |
| of (mode, oid, stage, path) tuples to output for conflicted |
| files, just provide a list of filenames with conflicts (and |
| do not list filenames multiple times if they have multiple |
| conflicting stages).</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--[no-]messages</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Write any informational messages such as "Auto-merging <path>" |
| or CONFLICT notices to the end of stdout. If unspecified, the |
| default is to include these messages if there are merge |
| conflicts, and to omit them otherwise.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--allow-unrelated-histories</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>merge-tree will by default error out if the two branches specified |
| share no common history. This flag can be given to override that |
| check and make the merge proceed anyway.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--merge-base=<tree-ish></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Instead of finding the merge-bases for <branch1> and <branch2>, |
| specify a merge-base for the merge, and specifying multiple bases is |
| currently not supported. This option is incompatible with <code>--stdin</code>.</p> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>As the merge-base is provided directly, <branch1> and <branch2> do not need |
| to specify commits; trees are enough.</p> |
| </div> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-X<option></dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--strategy-option=<option></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Pass the merge strategy-specific option through to the merge strategy. |
| See <a href="git-merge.html">git-merge(1)</a> for details.</p> |

| <div class="sect1"> |
| <h2 id="OUTPUT">OUTPUT</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>For a successful merge, the output from git-merge-tree is simply one |

| <div class="content"> |
| <pre><OID of toplevel tree></pre> |
| </div> |

| <p>However, there is an exception. If <code>--stdin</code> is passed, then there is |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Do NOT look through the resulting toplevel tree to try to find which |
| files conflict; parse the <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a> section instead. |
| Not only would parsing an entire tree be horrendously slow in large |
| repositories, there are numerous types of conflicts not representable by |
| conflict markers (modify/delete, mode conflict, binary file changed on |
| both sides, file/directory conflicts, various rename conflict |
| permutations, etc.)</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Do NOT interpret an empty <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a> list as a clean |
| merge; check the exit status. A merge can have conflicts without having |
| individual files conflict (there are a few types of directory rename |
| conflicts that fall into this category, and others might also be added |
| in the future).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Do NOT attempt to guess or make the user guess the conflict types from |
| the <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a> list. The information there is |
| insufficient to do so. For example: Rename/rename(1to2) conflicts (both |
| sides renamed the same file differently) will result in three different |
| files having higher order stages (but each only has one higher order |
| stage), with no way (short of the <a href="#IM">Informational messages</a> section) |
| to determine which three files are related. File/directory conflicts |
| also result in a file with exactly one higher order stage. |
| Possibly-involved-in-directory-rename conflicts (when |
| "merge.directoryRenames" is unset or set to "conflicts") also result in |
| a file with exactly one higher order stage. In all cases, the |
| <a href="#IM">Informational messages</a> section has the necessary info, though it |
| is not designed to be machine parseable.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Do NOT assume that each path from <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a>, and |
| the logical conflicts in the <a href="#IM">Informational messages</a> have a |
| one-to-one mapping, nor that there is a one-to-many mapping, nor a |
| many-to-one mapping. Many-to-many mappings exist, meaning that each |
| path can have many logical conflict types in a single merge, and each |
| logical conflict type can affect many paths.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Do NOT assume all filenames listed in the <a href="#IM">Informational messages</a> |
| section had conflicts. Messages can be included for files that have no |
| conflicts, such as "Auto-merging <file>".</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>AVOID taking the OIDS from the <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a> and |
| re-merging them to present the conflicts to the user. This will lose |
| information. Instead, look up the version of the file found within the |
| <a href="#OIDTLT">OID of toplevel tree</a> and show that instead. In particular, |
| the latter will have conflict markers annotated with the original |
| branch/commit being merged and, if renames were involved, the original |
| filename. While you could include the original branch/commit in the |
| conflict marker annotations when re-merging, the original filename is |
| not available from the <a href="#CFI">Conflicted file info</a> and thus you would |
| be losing information that might help the user resolve the conflict.</p> |

| <h2 id="DEPMERGE">DEPRECATED DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Per the <a href="#NEWMERGE">DESCRIPTION</a> and unlike the rest of this |
| documentation, this section describes the deprecated <code>--trivial-merge</code> |
| mode.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Other than the optional <code>--trivial-merge</code>, this mode accepts no |
| options.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This mode reads three tree-ish, and outputs trivial merge results and |
| conflicting stages to the standard output in a semi-diff format. |
| Since this was designed for higher level scripts to consume and merge |
| the results back into the index, it omits entries that match |
| <branch1>. The result of this second form is similar to what |
| three-way <em>git read-tree -m</em> does, but instead of storing the results |
| in the index, the command outputs the entries to the standard output.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This form not only has limited applicability (a trivial merge cannot |
| handle content merges of individual files, rename detection, proper |
| directory/file conflict handling, etc.), the output format is also |
| difficult to work with, and it will generally be less performant than |
| the first form even on successful merges (especially if working in |
| large repositories).</p> |
