Junio C Hamano 25b3d4d6f3 completion: find out supported merge strategies correctly ... "git-merge" is a binary executable these days, and looking for assignment to $all_strategies variable with grep/sed does not work well. When asked for an unknown strategy, pre-1.6.0 and post-1.6.0 "git merge" commands respectively say: $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.5.6.5/bin/git merge -s help available strategies are: recur recursive octopus resolve stupid ours subtree $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.0/bin/git merge -s help Could not find merge strategy 'help'. Available strategies are: recursive octopus resolve ours subtree. both on their standard error stream. We can use this to learn what strategies are supported. The sed script is written in such a way that it catches both old and new message styles ("Available" vs "available", and the full stop at the end). It also allows future versions of "git merge" to line-wrap the list of strategies, and add extra comments, like this: $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.1/bin/git merge -s help Could not find merge strategy 'help'. Available strategies are: blame recursive octopus resolve ours subtree. Also you have custom strategies: theirs Make sure you spell strategy names correctly.
