Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Switch default merge backend from recursive to ort
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2021 05:38:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1011.git.1628055482.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

This is a reroll of my RFC series[1] to switch the default merge backend
from recursive to ort. The consensus seems to be that we should do this
immediately after the 2.33 release.

Note that folks who want to get the old merge backend after this series can
simply set pull.twohead=recursive. (And, similarly, before this series,
those who want to try out ort in Git 2.32 or Git 2.33 can set
pull.twohead=ort.)

Changes since the RFC version of this series:

 * Now depends on the reroll of en/merge-strategy-docs I just submitted[2].
 * Made tweaks to code and documentation suggested by Stolee, Dscho, and
   Ævar
