Subject: [PATCH] git-merge-one-file: fix longstanding stupid thinko

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:48:36 -0700

When a merge result creates a new file, and when our side already has a
file in the path, taking the merge result may clobber the untracked file.
However, the logic to detect this situation was totally the wrong way.  We
should complain when the file exists, not when the file does not exist.

 * This is quite an old bug introduced by ed93b44 (merge: loosen
   overcautious "working file will be lost" check., 2006-10-08).  I
   originally wanted to catch the breakage Greg mentioned, but no such
   luck.
