From 7f8ab8dc07ba4e892d0c2b5e7ac8436f9e845920 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:42:50 -0700 Subject: Don't update unchanged merge entries In commit 34110cd4e394e3f92c01a4709689b384c34645d8 ("Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate source and destination index") I introduced a really stupid bug in that it would always add merged entries with the CE_UPDATE flag set. That caused us to always re-write the file, even when it was already up-to-date in the source index. Not only is that really stupid from a performance angle, but more importantly it's actively wrong: if we have dirty state in the tree when we merge, overwriting it with the result of the merge will incorrectly overwrite that dirty state. This trivially fixes the problem - simply don't set the CE_UPDATE flag when the merge result matches the old state.
