File modes for the three -files are passed as arguments 5, 6 and 7. - -OPTIONS -------- -\--:: - Do not interpret any more arguments as options. - --a:: - Run merge against all files in the index that need merging. - --o:: - Instead of stopping at the first failed merge, do all of them - in one shot - continue with merging even when previous merges - returned errors, and only return the error code after all the - merges. - --q:: - Do not complain about a failed merge program (a merge program - failure usually indicates conflicts during the merge). This is for - porcelains which might want to emit custom messages. - -If 'git merge-index' is called with multiple <file>s (or -a) then it -processes them in turn only stopping if merge returns a non-zero exit -code. - -Typically this is run with a script calling Git's imitation of -the 'merge' command from the RCS package. - -A sample script called 'git merge-one-file' is included in the -distribution. - -ALERT ALERT ALERT! The Git "merge object order" is different from the -RCS 'merge' program merge object order. In the above ordering, the -original is first. But the argument order to the 3-way merge program -'merge' is to have the original in the middle. Don't ask me why. - -Examples: - ----- -torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat MM -This is MM from the original tree. # original -This is modified MM in the branch A. # merge1 -This is modified MM in the branch B. # merge2 -This is modified MM in the branch B. # current contents ----- - -or - ----- -torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat AA MM -cat: : No such file or directory -This is added AA in the branch A. -This is added AA in the branch B. -This is added AA in the branch B. -fatal: merge program failed ----- - -where the latter example shows how 'git merge-index' will stop trying to -merge once anything has returned an error (i.e., `cat` returned an error -for the AA file, because it didn't exist in the original, and thus -'git merge-index' didn't even try to merge the MM thing). - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
