From aacc15ec5261fca8a02570f93028e3ac4213caae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 02:24:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] git-merge-one-file-script: do not misinterpret rm failure. When a merge adds a file DF and removes a directory there by deleting a path DF/DF, git-merge-one-file-script can be called for the removal of DF/DF when the path DF is already created by "git-read-tree -m -u". When this happens, we get confused by a failure return from 'rm -f -- "$4"' (where $4 is DF/DF); finding file DF there the "rm -f" command complains that DF is not a directory. What we want to ensure is that there is no file DF/DF in this case. Avoid getting ourselves confused by first checking if there is a file, and only then try to remove it (and check for failure from the "rm" command).
