65 * RETURN VALUES: All the merge_* functions below return a value as follows:
66 * > 0 Merge was clean
67 * = 0 Merge had conflicts
68 * < 0 Merge hit an unexpected and unrecoverable problem (e.g. disk
69 * full) and aborted merge part-way through.
73 * rename-detecting three-way merge, no recursion.
75 * Outputs:
76 * - See RETURN VALUES above
77 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
78 * - new index NOT written to disk
79 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge
81 int merge_trees(struct merge_options *opt,
82 struct tree *head,
83 struct tree *merge,
84 struct tree *merge_base);
87 * merge_recursive is like merge_trees() but with recursive ancestor
88 * consolidation.
90 * NOTE: empirically, about a decade ago it was determined that with more
91 * than two merge bases, optimal behavior was found when the
92 * merge_bases were passed in the order of oldest commit to newest
93 * commit. Also, merge_bases will be consumed (emptied) so make a
94 * copy if you need it.
96 * Outputs:
97 * - See RETURN VALUES above
98 * - *result is treated as scratch space for temporary recursive merges
99 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
100 * - new index NOT written to disk
101 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge

104 struct commit *h1,
105 struct commit *h2,
106 struct commit_list *merge_bases,
107 struct commit **result);
110 * merge_recursive_generic can operate on trees instead of commits, by
111 * wrapping the trees into virtual commits, and calling merge_recursive().
112 * It also writes out the in-memory index to disk if the merge is successful.
114 * Outputs:
115 * - See RETURN VALUES above
116 * - *result is treated as scratch space for temporary recursive merges
117 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
118 * - new index also written to $GIT_INDEX_FILE on disk
119 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge
