264git-merge-index(1) Manual Page
265</h1>
266<h2>NAME</h2>
267<div class="sectionbody">
268<p>git-merge-index -
269 Runs a merge for files needing merging
270</p>
271</div>
272</div>
273<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
274<div class="sectionbody">
Junio C Hamano1bb569e2006-05-05 23:14:25275<p><em>git-merge-index</em> [-o] [-q] &lt;merge-program&gt; (-a | -- | &lt;file&gt;*)</p>
Junio C Hamano1a4e8412005-12-27 08:17:23276</div>
277<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
278<div class="sectionbody">
279<p>This looks up the &lt;file&gt;(s) in the index and, if there are any merge
280entries, passes the SHA1 hash for those files as arguments 1, 2, 3 (empty
281argument if no file), and &lt;file&gt; as argument 4. File modes for the three
282files are passed as arguments 5, 6 and 7.</p>
283</div>
284<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
285<div class="sectionbody">
286<dl>
287<dt>
Junio C Hamano1bb569e2006-05-05 23:14:25288--
Junio C Hamano1a4e8412005-12-27 08:17:23289</dt>
290<dd>
291<p>
292 Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
293</p>
294</dd>
295<dt>
296-a
297</dt>
298<dd>
299<p>
300 Run merge against all files in the index that need merging.
301</p>
302</dd>
303<dt>
304-o
305</dt>
306<dd>
307<p>
308 Instead of stopping at the first failed merge, do all of them
309 in one shot - continue with merging even when previous merges
310 returned errors, and only return the error code after all the
311 merges are over.
312</p>
313</dd>
314<dt>
315-q
316</dt>
317<dd>
318<p>
319 Do not complain about failed merge program (the merge program
320 failure usually indicates conflicts during merge). This is for
321 porcelains which might want to emit custom messages.
322</p>
323</dd>
324</dl>
325<p>If "git-merge-index" is called with multiple &lt;file&gt;s (or -a) then it
326processes them in turn only stopping if merge returns a non-zero exit
327code.</p>
328<p>Typically this is run with the a script calling the merge command from
329the RCS package.</p>
330<p>A sample script called "git-merge-one-file" is included in the
331distribution.</p>
332<p>ALERT ALERT ALERT! The git "merge object order" is different from the
333RCS "merge" program merge object order. In the above ordering, the
334original is first. But the argument order to the 3-way merge program
335"merge" is to have the original in the middle. Don't ask me why.</p>
336<p>Examples:</p>
337<div class="literalblock">
338<div class="content">
339<pre><tt>torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test&gt; git-merge-index cat MM
340This is MM from the original tree. # original
341This is modified MM in the branch A. # merge1
342This is modified MM in the branch B. # merge2
343This is modified MM in the branch B. # current contents</tt></pre>
344</div></div>
345<p>or</p>
346<div class="literalblock">
347<div class="content">
348<pre><tt>torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test&gt; git-merge-index cat AA MM
349cat: : No such file or directory
350This is added AA in the branch A.
351This is added AA in the branch B.
352This is added AA in the branch B.
353fatal: merge program failed</tt></pre>
354</div></div>
355<p>where the latter example shows how "git-merge-index" will stop trying to
356merge once anything has returned an error (ie "cat" returned an error
357for the AA file, because it didn't exist in the original, and thus
358"git-merge-index" didn't even try to merge the MM thing).</p>
