69 * RETURN VALUES: All the merge_* functions below return a value as follows:
70 * > 0 Merge was clean
71 * = 0 Merge had conflicts
72 * < 0 Merge hit an unexpected and unrecoverable problem (e.g. disk
73 * full) and aborted merge part-way through.
77 * rename-detecting three-way merge, no recursion.
79 * Outputs:
80 * - See RETURN VALUES above
81 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
82 * - new index NOT written to disk
83 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge
85 int merge_trees(struct merge_options *opt,
86 struct tree *head,

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

114 * merge_recursive_generic can operate on trees instead of commits, by
115 * wrapping the trees into virtual commits, and calling merge_recursive().
116 * It also writes out the in-memory index to disk if the merge is successful.
118 * Outputs:
119 * - See RETURN VALUES above
120 * - *result is treated as scratch space for temporary recursive merges
121 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
122 * - new index also written to $GIT_INDEX_FILE on disk
