merge: minimize conflicts when common base is not shown (issue4447) Previously, two changes that were nearly, but not quite, identical would result in large merge conflict regions that looked very similar, and were thus very confusing to users, and lead people used to other source control systems to claim that "mercurial's merge algorithms suck". In the relatively common case of a new file being introduced in two branches with very slight modifications, the old behavior would show the entire file as a conflict, and it would be very difficult for a user to determine what was going on. In the past, mercurial attempted to solve this with a "very smart" algorithm that would find all common lines, but this has significant problems as described in 2ea6d906cf9b. Instead, we use a "very dumb" algorithm introduced in the previous patch that simply matches lines at the periphery of conflict regions. This minimizes most conflict regions well, though there may still be some degenerate edge cases, like small modification to the beginning and end of a large file.

Prepare repo-a:

  $ hg init repo-a
  $ cd repo-a

  $ echo this is file a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m first

  $ echo adding to file a >> a
  $ hg commit -m second

  $ echo adding more to file a >> a
  $ hg commit -m third

Dump all revlogs to file repo.dump:

  $ find .hg/store -name "*.i" | sort | xargs python "$CONTRIBDIR/dumprevlog" > ../repo.dump
  $ cd ..

Undumping into repo-b:

  $ hg init repo-b
  $ cd repo-b
  $ python "$CONTRIBDIR/undumprevlog" < ../repo.dump
  .hg/store/00changelog.i
  .hg/store/00manifest.i
  .hg/store/data/a.i
  $ cd ..

Test simplemerge command:

  $ cp "$CONTRIBDIR/simplemerge" .
  $ echo base > base
  $ echo local > local
  $ cat base >> local
  $ cp local orig
  $ cat base > other
  $ echo other >> other

changing local directly

  $ python simplemerge local base other && echo "merge succeeded"
  merge succeeded
  $ cat local
  local
  base
  other
  $ cp orig local

printing to stdout

  $ python simplemerge -p local base other

  $ cat local
  local

  $ cp base conflict-local
  $ cp other conflict-other
  $ echo not other >> conflict-local
  $ echo end >> conflict-local
  $ echo end >> conflict-other

  $ python simplemerge -p conflict-local base conflict-other
