My earlier fix (8371234e) to delete renamed tracked files from the working directory also caused merge-recursive to delete untracked files that were in the working directory. The problem here is merge-recursive is deleting the working directory file without regard for which branch it was associated with. What we really want to do during a merge is to only delete files that were renamed by the branch we are merging into the current branch, and that are still tracked by the current branch. These files definitely don't belong in the working directory anymore. Anything else is either a merge conflict (already handled in other parts of the code) or a file that is untracked by the current branch and thus is not even participating in the merge. Its this latter class that must be left alone. For this fix to work we are now assuming that the first non-base argument passed to git-merge-recursive always corresponds to the working directory. This is already true for all in-tree callers of merge-recursive. This assumption is also supported by the long time usage message of "<base> ... -- <head> <remote>", where "<head>" is implied to be HEAD, which is generally assumed to be the current tree-ish.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
