(updated from the version posted to GIT mailing list).
When a new blob is registered with update-cache, and before the cache
is written as a tree and committed, git-fsck-cache will find the blob
unreachable. This patch adds a new flag, "--cache" to git-fsck-cache,
with which it keeps such blobs from considered "unreachable".
The git-prune-script is updated to use this new flag. At the same time
it adds .git/refs/*/* to the set of default locations to look for heads,
which should be consistent with expectations from Cogito users.
Without this fix, "diff-cache -p --cached" after git-prune-script has
pruned the blob object will fail mysteriously and git-write-tree would
also fail.

They sure as hell aren't perfect, but they allow you to do:
./git-pull-script {other-git-directory}
to do the initial merge, and if that had content clashes, you do
merge-cache ./git-merge-one-file-script -a
which tries to auto-merge. When/if the auto-merge fails, it will
leave the last file in your working directory, and you can edit
it and then when you're happy you can do "update-cache filename"
on it. Re-do the merge-cache thing until there are no files left
to be merged, and now you can write the tree and commit:
write-tree
commit-tree .... -p $(cat .git/HEAD) -p $(cat .git/MERGE_HEAD)
and you're done.
