Subject: [PATCH] Use a temporary index file when we merge the common ancestors.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.7~48
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6511cce24b932eba33d8e13b54664673121a8b7e;p=git.git

[PATCH] Use a temporary index file when we merge the common ancestors.

With this change we can get rid of a call to 'git-update-index
--refresh'.
