[PATCH v3 4/4] merge: save merge state earlier

From: Michael J Gruber <hidden>
Date: 2017-08-23 12:11:08
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If the `git merge` process is killed while waiting for the editor to
finish, the merge state is lost but the prepared merge msg and tree is kept.
So, a subsequent `git commit` creates a squashed merge even when the
user asked for proper merge commit originally.

Demonstrate the problem with a test crafted after the in t7502. The test
requires EXECKEEPSPID (thus does not run under MINGW).

Save the merge state earlier (in the non-squash case) so that it does
not get lost. This makes the test pass.
