63 * < 0 Merge hit an unexpected and unrecoverable problem (e.g. disk
64 * full) and aborted merge part-way through.
68 * rename-detecting three-way merge, no recursion.
71 * - See RETURN VALUES above
72 * - No commit is created
73 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
74 * - $GIT_INDEX_FILE is not updated
75 * - The working tree is updated with results of the merge

83 * merge_recursive is like merge_trees() but with recursive ancestor
84 * consolidation and, if the commit is clean, creation of a commit.
86 * NOTE: empirically, about a decade ago it was determined that with more
87 * than two merge bases, optimal behavior was found when the
88 * merge_bases were passed in the order of oldest commit to newest
89 * commit. Also, merge_bases will be consumed (emptied) so make a
90 * copy if you need it.
93 * - See RETURN VALUES above
94 * - If merge is clean, a commit is created and its address written to *result
95 * - opt->repo->index has the new index
96 * - $GIT_INDEX_FILE is not updated

107 * wrapping the trees into virtual commits, and calling merge_recursive().
108 * It also writes out the in-memory index to disk if the merge is successful.
