Subject: [PATCH v3 00/15] Switch directory rename detection default

From: Elijah Newren <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2019 08:00:11 -0700

This series adds a new configuration option, merge.directoryRenames,
for setting how to make use of directory rename detection heuristics.
The default becomes "conflict", meaning that conflicts are reported
instead of silently moving paths according to the heuristics.  Also,
even when merge.directoryRenames config setting is "true", this series
changes behavior in that it now prints informational messages about
paths that are adjusted by the directory rename detection heuristics.

Changes since v2 (range-diff below):
  * Made use of git_parse_maybe_bool() as suggested by Ævar, and made
    the parsing of the merge.directoryRenames setting look more like
    that for merge.ff.

I didn't get much review of round 2, which maybe means everyone is
happy with what they see.  If anyone would like to take a look at just
part of the series, the pieces I'd most like folks to look at are:
  * Patch 15, particularly looking over the new testcases (13a-13d) in
    t6043 and the documentation.
  * Should I have switched the type of "mode" from 'unsigned short' to
    'unsigned' instead of vice-versa in patch 1?
  * Similarly, does anyone have a reason to prefer oid,mode pair over
    using a diff_filespec (in patch 11 I convert half the sites to the
    latter)?

Elijah Newren (15):
  Use 'unsigned short' for mode, like diff_filespec does
  merge-recursive: rename merge_options argument from 'o' to 'opt'
  merge-recursive: rename diff_filespec 'one' to 'o'
  merge-recursive: rename locals 'o' and 'a' to 'obuf' and 'abuf'
  merge-recursive: use 'ci' for rename_conflict_info variable name
  merge-recursive: move some struct declarations together
  merge-recursive: shrink rename_conflict_info
  merge-recursive: remove ren[12]_other fields from rename_conflict_info
  merge-recursive: track branch where rename occurred in rename struct
  merge-recursive: cleanup handle_rename_* function signatures
  merge-recursive: switch from (oid,mode) pairs to a diff_filespec
  t6043: fix copied test description to match its purpose
  merge-recursive: track information associated with directory renames
  merge-recursive: give callers of handle_content_merge() access to
    contents
  merge-recursive: switch directory rename detection default
