66 * RETURN VALUES: All the merge_* functions below return a value as follows:
67 * > 0 Merge was clean
68 * = 0 Merge had conflicts
69 * < 0 Merge hit an unexpected and unrecoverable problem (e.g. disk
70 * full) and aborted merge part-way through.
74 * rename-detecting three-way merge, no recursion.
76 * Outputs:
77 * - See RETURN VALUES above
78 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
79 * - new index NOT written to disk
80 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge

88 * merge_recursive is like merge_trees() but with recursive ancestor
89 * consolidation.
91 * NOTE: empirically, about a decade ago it was determined that with more
92 * than two merge bases, optimal behavior was found when the
93 * merge_bases were passed in the order of oldest commit to newest
94 * commit. Also, merge_bases will be consumed (emptied) so make a
95 * copy if you need it.
97 * Outputs:
98 * - See RETURN VALUES above
99 * - *result is treated as scratch space for temporary recursive merges
100 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
101 * - new index NOT written to disk
102 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge

111 * merge_recursive_generic can operate on trees instead of commits, by
112 * wrapping the trees into virtual commits, and calling merge_recursive().
113 * It also writes out the in-memory index to disk if the merge is successful.
115 * Outputs:
