Revision 6aba117d5cf7128e7bc942888263552fe927e13f authored by Elijah Newren on 29 August 2018, 07:06:13 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 30 August 2018, 14:58:59 UTC
Let's say you have the following three trees, where Base is from one commit
behind either master or branch:
Base : bar_v1, foo/{file1, file2, file3}
branch: bar_v2, foo/{file1, file2}, goo/file3
master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3}
Using git-am (or am-based rebase) to apply the changes from branch onto
master results in the following tree:
Result: bar_merged, goo/{file1, file2, file3}
This is not what users want; they did not rename foo/ -> goo/, they only
renamed one file within that directory. The reason this happens is am
constructs fake trees (via build_fake_ancestor()) of the following form:
Base_bfa : bar_v1, foo/file3
branch_bfa: bar_v2, goo/file3
Combining these two trees with master's tree:
master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3},
You can see that merge_recursive_generic() would see branch_bfa as renaming
foo/ -> goo/, and master as just adding both foo/file1 and foo/file2. As
such, it ends up with goo/{file1, file2, file3}
The core problem is that am does not have access to the original trees; it
can only construct trees using the blobs involved in the patch. As such,
it is not safe to perform directory rename detection within am -3.

/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
* any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
* is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a

*
* For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
* argument:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
*
* would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
* run the command on the other side:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
* sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
*
* Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
* sq_quote() in a real application.
*
* sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
* will return the number of characters that would have been written
* excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
*
* sq_quotef() quotes the entire formatted string as a single result.
