simplemerge: add optional context parameters to simplemerge
ClosedPublic

Authored by phillco on Aug 14 2017, 2:15 AM.

Details

Summary

Rename the existing parameters for clarity.

These will, in subsequent patches, allow callers to redirect reads (of the
three sides of the merge) and writes (of the result) to the given contexts,
instead of using the filesystem.

While in most cases, the writes will go to a workingfilectx, this opens the
door for it to be a memfilectx in the case of an in-memory merge.

Repo will be necessary in a subsequent comit.

Seems unfortunate to have both files and contexts. This is what you mentioned today you will replace by use of "arbitraryfilectx"?

They get taken out in D381; they have to co-exist briefly in order to ensure each step of this series can be applied cleanly.
