Field Detail

db

protected final Repository db

The repository this merger operates on.

reader

protected ObjectReader reader

Reader to support walk and other object loading.

walk

protected RevWalk walk

A RevWalk for computing merge bases, or listing incoming commits.

sourceObjects

protected RevObject[] sourceObjects

The original objects supplied in the merge; this can be any tree-ish.

sourceCommits

protected RevCommit[] sourceCommits

If sourceObjects[i] is a commit, this is the commit.

sourceTrees

protected RevTree[] sourceTrees

The trees matching every entry in sourceObjects.

Constructor Detail

Merger

protected Merger(Repository local)

Create a new merge instance for a repository.

Parameters:

local - the repository this merger will read and write data on.

Method Detail

getRepository

public Repository getRepository()

Returns:

the repository this merger operates on.

getObjectInserter

public ObjectInserter getObjectInserter()

Returns:

an object writer to create objects in getRepository().

setObjectInserter

public void setObjectInserter(ObjectInserter oi)

Set the inserter this merger will use to create objects.

If an inserter was already set on this instance (such as by a prior set, or a prior call to getObjectInserter()), the prior inserter as well as the in-progress walk will be released.

Parameters:

oi - the inserter instance to use. Must be associated with the repository instance returned by getRepository().

merge

public boolean merge(AnyObjectId... tips)
              throws IOException

Merge together two or more tree-ish objects.

Any tree-ish may be supplied as inputs. Commits and/or tags pointing at trees or commits may be passed as input objects.

Parameters:

tips - source trees to be combined together. The merge base is not included in this set.

Returns:

true if the merge was completed without conflicts; false if the merge strategy cannot handle this merge or there were conflicts preventing it from automatically resolving all paths.

Throws:

IncorrectObjectTypeException - one of the input objects is not a commit, but the strategy requires it to be a commit.

IOException - one or more sources could not be read, or outputs could not be written to the Repository.

merge

public boolean merge(boolean flush,
            AnyObjectId... tips)
              throws IOException

Merge together two or more tree-ish objects.

Any tree-ish may be supplied as inputs. Commits and/or tags pointing at trees or commits may be passed as input objects.

Parameters:

flush - whether to flush the underlying object inserter when finished to store any content-merged blobs and virtual merged bases; if false, callers are responsible for flushing.

tips - source trees to be combined together. The merge base is not included in this set.

Returns:

true if the merge was completed without conflicts; false if the merge strategy cannot handle this merge or there were conflicts preventing it from automatically resolving all paths.

Throws:

IncorrectObjectTypeException - one of the input objects is not a commit, but the strategy requires it to be a commit.

IOException - one or more sources could not be read, or outputs could not be written to the Repository.

Since:

3.5

getBaseCommitId

public abstract ObjectId getBaseCommitId()

Returns:

the ID of the commit that was used as merge base for merging, or null if no merge base was used or it was set manually

Since:

3.2

getBaseCommit

protected RevCommit getBaseCommit(RevCommit a,
                      RevCommit b)
                           throws IncorrectObjectTypeException,
                                  IOException

Return the merge base of two commits.

Parameters:

a - the first commit in sourceObjects.

b - the second commit in sourceObjects.

Returns:

the merge base of two commits

Throws:

IncorrectObjectTypeException - one of the input objects is not a commit.

IOException - objects are missing or multiple merge bases were found.

Since:

3.0

openTree

protected AbstractTreeIterator openTree(AnyObjectId treeId)
                                 throws IncorrectObjectTypeException,
                                        IOException

Open an iterator over a tree.

Parameters:

treeId - the tree to scan; must be a tree (not a treeish).

Returns:

an iterator for the tree.

Throws:

IncorrectObjectTypeException - the input object is not a tree.

IOException - the tree object is not found or cannot be read.

mergeImpl

protected abstract boolean mergeImpl()
                              throws IOException

Execute the merge.

This method is called from merge(AnyObjectId[]) after the sourceObjects, sourceCommits and sourceTrees have been populated.

Returns:

true if the merge was completed without conflicts; false if the merge strategy cannot handle this merge or there were conflicts preventing it from automatically resolving all paths.

Throws:

IncorrectObjectTypeException - one of the input objects is not a commit, but the strategy requires it to be a commit.

IOException - one or more sources could not be read, or outputs could not be written to the Repository.

getResultTreeId

public abstract ObjectId getResultTreeId()

Returns:

resulting tree, if merge(AnyObjectId[]) returned true.
