/* README:
   The default merge driver of 'git' *always* produces conflicts when
   pulling public modifications into a privately modified ChangeLog file.
   This is because ChangeLog files are always modified at the top; the
   default merge driver has no clue how to deal with this. Furthermore
   the conflicts are presented with more <<<< ==== >>>> markers than
   necessary; this is because the default merge driver makes pointless
   efforts to look at the individual line changes inside a ChangeLog entry.

   This program serves as a 'git' merge driver that avoids these problems.
   1. It produces no conflict when ChangeLog entries have been inserted
      at the top both in the public and in the private modification. It
      puts the privately added entries above the publicly added entries.
   2. It respects the structure of ChangeLog files: entries are not split
      into lines but kept together.
   3. It also handles the case of small modifications of past ChangeLog
      entries, or of removed ChangeLog entries: they are merged as one
      would expect it.
   4. Conflicts are presented at the top of the file, rather than where
      they occurred, so that the user will see them immediately. (Unlike
      for source code written in some programming language, conflict markers
      that are located several hundreds lines from the top will not cause
      any syntax error and therefore would be likely to remain unnoticed.)

/* Installation:

   $ gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir123 git-merge-changelog
   $ cd /tmp/testdir123
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ make install

   Additionally, for git users:
     - Add to .git/config of the checkout (or to your $HOME/.gitconfig) the
       lines

          [merge "merge-changelog"]
                  name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver
                  driver = /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog %O %A %B

     - In every directory that contains a ChangeLog file, add a file
       '.gitattributes' with this line:

          ChangeLog    merge=merge-changelog

       (See "man 5 gitattributes" for more info.)

   Additionally, for bzr users:
     - Install the 'extmerge' bzr plug-in listed at
         <http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/index.html>
         <http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/BzrPlugins>
     - Add to your $HOME/.bazaar/bazaar.conf the line

          external_merge = git-merge-changelog %b %T %o

     - Then, to merge a conflict in a ChangeLog file, use

          $ bzr extmerge ChangeLog

   Additionally, for hg users:
     - Add to your $HOME/.hgrc the lines

        [merge-patterns]
        ChangeLog = git-merge-changelog

        [merge-tools]
        git-merge-changelog.executable = /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog
        git-merge-changelog.args = $base $local $other

       See <https://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html> section merge-tools
       for reference.

/* Use as an alternative to 'diff3':
   git-merge-changelog performs the same role as "diff3 -m", just with
   reordered arguments:
     $ git-merge-changelog %O %A %B
   is comparable to
     $ diff3 -m %A %O %B
 */

/* Calling convention:
   A merge driver is called with three filename arguments:
     1. %O = The common ancestor of %A and %B.
     2. %A = The file's contents from the "current branch".
     3. %B = The file's contents from the "other branch"; this is the contents
        being merged in.

   In case of a "git stash apply" or of an upstream pull (e.g. from a subsystem
   maintainer to a central maintainer) or of a downstream pull with --rebase:
     2. %A = The file's newest pulled contents; modified by other committers.
     3. %B = The user's newest copy of the file; modified by the user.
   In case of a downstream pull (e.g. from a central repository to the user)
   or of an upstream pull with --rebase:
     2. %A = The user's newest copy of the file; modified by the user.
     3. %B = The file's newest pulled contents; modified by other committers.

   It should write its merged output into file %A. It can also echo some
   remarks to stdout.  It should exit with return code 0 if the merge could
   be resolved cleanly, or with non-zero return code if there were conflicts.
 */

/* How it works:
   The structure of a ChangeLog file: It consists of ChangeLog entries. A
   ChangeLog entry starts at a line following a blank line and that starts with
   a non-whitespace character, or at the beginning of a file.
   The merge driver works as follows: It reads the three files into memory and
   dissects them into ChangeLog entries. It then finds the differences between
   %O and %B. They are classified as:
     - removals (some consecutive entries removed),
     - changes (some consecutive entries removed, some consecutive entries
       added),
     - additions (some consecutive entries added).
   The driver then attempts to apply the changes to %A.
   To this effect, it first computes a correspondence between the entries in %O
   and the entries in %A, using fuzzy string matching to still identify changed
   entries.
     - Removals are applied one by one. If the entry is present in %A, at any
       position, it is removed. If not, the removal is marked as a conflict.
     - Additions at the top of %B are applied at the top of %A.
     - Additions between entry x and entry y (y may be the file end) in %B are
       applied between entry x and entry y in %A (if they still exist and are
       still consecutive in %A), otherwise the additions are marked as a
       conflict.
     - Changes are categorized into "simple changes":
         entry1 ... entryn
       are mapped to
         added_entry ... added_entry modified_entry1 ... modified_entryn,
       where the correspondence between entry_i and modified_entry_i is still
       clear; and "big changes": these are all the rest. Simple changes at the
       top of %B are applied by putting the added entries at the top of %A. The
       changes in simple changes are applied one by one; possibly leading to
       single-entry conflicts. Big changes are applied en bloc, possibly
       leading to conflicts spanning multiple entries.
     - Conflicts are output at the top of the file and cause an exit status of
       1.

    /* Heuristic to determine whether it's a pull in downstream direction
       (e.g. pull from a centralized server) or a pull in upstream direction
       (e.g. "git stash apply").

       For ChangeLog this distinction is important. The difference between
       an "upstream" and a "downstream" repository is that more people are
       looking at the "upstream" repository.  They want to be informed about
       changes and expect them to be shown at the top of the ChangeLog.
       When a user pulls downstream, on the other hand, he has two options:
         a) He gets the change entries from the central repository also at the
            top of his ChangeLog, and his own changes come after them.
         b) He gets the change entries from the central repository after those
            he has collected for his branch.  His own change entries stay at
            the top of the ChangeLog file.
       In the case a) he has to reorder the ChangeLog before he can commit.
       No one does that.  So most people want b).
       In other words, the order of entries in a ChangeLog should represent
       the order in which they have flown (or will flow) into the *central*
       repository.

       But in git this is fundamentally indistinguishable, because when Linus
       pulls patches from akpm and akpm pulls patches from Linus, it's not
       clear which of the two is more "upstream".  Also, when you have many
       branches in a repository and pull from one to another, "git" has no way
       to know which branch is more "upstream" than the other.  The git-tag(1)
       manual page also says:
         "One important aspect of git is it is distributed, and being
          distributed largely means there is no inherent "upstream" or
          "downstream" in the system."
       Therefore anyone who attempts to produce a ChangeLog from the merge
       history will fail.

       Here we allow the user to specify the pull direction through an
       environment variable (GIT_UPSTREAM or GIT_DOWNSTREAM).  If these two
       environment variables are not set, we assume a "simple single user"
       usage pattern: He manages local changes through stashes and uses
       "git pull" only to pull downstream.

       How to distinguish these situation? There are several hints:
         - During a "git stash apply", GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not set.  During
           a "git pull", it is set to 'pull '. During a "git pull --rebase",
           it is set to 'pull --rebase'.  During a "git cherry-pick", it is
           set to 'cherry-pick'.
         - During a "git stash apply", there is an environment variable of
           the form GITHEAD_<40_hex_digits>='Stashed changes'.  */
