Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.
A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.
For commit, the error message used to look like this:
$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees
The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

The basic idea of t3501 is to check whether revert
and cherry-pick works on renamed files.
But as there is no pure cherry-pick/revert test, it is
good to also check if commits are actually done in that
scenario.

The previous code mistakenly used wt_status_prepare to check whether the
index had anything commitable in it; however, that function is just an
init function, and will never report a dirty index.
The correct way with wt_status_* would be to call wt_status_print with the
output pointing to /dev/null or similar. However, that does extra work by
both examining the working tree and spewing status information to nowhere.
Instead, let's just implement the useful subset of wt_status_print as an
"is_index_dirty" function.

This makes revert and cherry-pick to use merge-recursive, to
allow them to notice renames. A pair of test scripts
demonstrate that an old change before a rename happened can be
applied (reverted) after a rename with cherry-pick (with revert).
