Subject: Re: Re: [Internet]Re: [PATCH v5] merge: avoid write merge state when unable to write index
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 17:17:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202406171717292856283@gmail.com> (raw)

> [2] From a usability perspective, the merge state should not be written when the index is being
> written (merge conflicts are not considered failures). To avoid losing changes in the source branch,
"the merge state should not be written when the index is being written" should be:
the merge state should not be written if the index write fails.
> users can only execute 'git merge --abort' and try 'git merge' again. However, if the merge state is
> not written in the first place, the user only needs to retry 'git merge'.
>In other words, writing the merge state after the index write fails is meaningless and could
>potentially cause Git to lose changes.
