I'd like to drop a hint at
notes/tree-conflicts/all-add-vs-add-tree-conflicts.txt
where I tabled up the TC cases that I changed. AFAIR it wasn't quite
where I wanted it when my activity faded, so unless others have covered
the ':(' cases, they are IMHO still inconsistent.
I did what I did because there was wishful thinking whispering from the
bushes, in want of actively marking obstructed items so that they show
up as conflicts to be resolved, to warn at commit time etc.. I agree(d)
that obstructions are half like tree-conflicts, but also half unlike
tree conflicts. I figured: here we have a conflict marker thing (TC)
that blocks commits, so I'll try to use that until someone makes a
proper conflict marker specifically for obstructions... Then I got
carried away and added hacky auto-resolution in case of tree conflicts
on obstructions, and AFAIR that was removed again. I'm quite content
with that.
(I hope I'm not confusing anyone, my remark may be off at a tangent...)
