From 58a1ece478c6038a7eb0b6e494d563bd5e6d5978 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Frankel Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:50:45 -0500 Subject: merge-recursive --patience Teach the merge-recursive strategy a --patience option to use the "patience diff" algorithm, which tends to improve results when cherry-picking a patch that reorders functions at the same time as refactoring them. To support this, struct merge_options and ll_merge_options gain an xdl_opts member, so programs can use arbitrary xdiff flags (think "XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge. git merge and git rebase can be passed the -Xpatience option to use this.
