Re: [StGit PATCH 1/2] Do simple in-index merge with diff+apply instead of read-tree

2008/7/2 Karl Hasselström [off-list ref]:

The advantage is that patch application will resolve some file content
conflicts for us, so that we'll fall back to merge-recursive less
often. This is a significant speedup, especially since merge-recursive
needs to touch the worktree, which means we have to check out the
index first.

Thanks.
