submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge
Since commit 68d03e4 (Implement automatic fast-forward merge for submodules, 2010-07-07) we try to suggest submodule commits that resolve a conflict. Consider a true recursive merge case b---bc / \ / o X \ / \ c---cb in which the two heads themselves (bc,cb) had resolved a submodule conflict (i.e. reference different commits than their parents). The submodule merge search runs during the temporary merge of the two merge bases (b,c) and prints out a suggestion that is not meaningful to the user. Then during the main merge the submodule merge search runs again but dies with the message fatal: --ancestry-path given but there are no bottom commits while trying to enumerate candidates. Demonstrate this known breakage with a new test in t7405-submodule-merge covering the case. Signed-off-by: Brad King <brad.king@kitware.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
