merge-ort: fix bug with dir rename vs change dir to symlink
When changing a directory to a symlink on one side of history, and
renaming the parent of that directory to a different directory name
on the other side, e.g. with this kind of setup:
Base commit: Has a file named dir/subdir/file
Side1: Rename dir/ -> renamed-dir/
Side2: delete dir/subdir/file, add dir/subdir as symlink
Then merge-ort was running into an assertion failure:
git: merge-ort.c:2622: apply_directory_rename_modifications: Assertion `ci->dirmask == 0' failed
merge-recursive did not have as obvious an issue handling this case,
likely because we never fixed it to handle the case from commit
902c521a35 ("t6423: more involved directory rename test", 2020-10-15)
where we need to be careful about nested renames when a directory rename
occurs (dir/ -> renamed-dir/ implies dir/subdir/ ->
renamed-dir/subdir/). However, merge-recursive does have multiple
problems with this testcase:
* Incorrect stages for the file: merge-recursive omits the stage in
the index corresponding to the base stage, making `git status`
report "added by us" for renamed-dir/subdir/file instead of the
expected "deleted by them".
* Poor directory/file conflict handling: For the renamed-dir/subdir
symlink, instead of reporting a file/directory conflict as
expected, it reports "Error: Refusing to lose untracked file at
renamed-dir/subdir". This is a lie because there is no untracked
file at that location. It then does the normal suboptimal
merge-recursive thing of having the symlink be tracked in the index
at a location where it can't be written due to D/F conflicts
(namely, renamed-dir/subdir), but writes it to the working tree at
a different location as a new untracked file (namely,
renamed-dir/subdir~B^0)
Technically, these problems don't prevent the user from resolving the
merge if they can figure out to ignore the confusion, but because both
pieces of output are quite confusing I don't want to modify the test
to claim the recursive also passes it even if it doesn't have the bug
that ort did.
So, fix the bug in ort by splitting the conflict_info for "dir/subdir"
into two, one for the directory part, one for the file (i.e. symlink)
part, since the symlink is being renamed by directory rename detection.
The directory part is needed for proper nesting, since there are still
conflict_info fields for files underneath it (though those are marked
as is_null, they are still present until the entries are processed,
and the entry processing wants every non-toplevel entry to have a
parent directory).

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
