| 2025-07-13 11:03:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | merging two incompatible large refactors of a codebase sounds like a hopeless task for any automated system |

| 2025-07-13 11:02:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | also how are you even planning to attack that with a custom merge tool |
| 2025-07-13 11:02:08 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | reformat all versions with the same formatter now, and _then_ merge? |
| 2025-07-13 11:01:38 +0200 | <[exa]> | (with incompatible formatters) |
| 2025-07-13 11:01:30 +0200 | <[exa]> | this is 3 large refactors all of which included complete reformat of the code |

| 2025-07-13 10:59:14 +0200 | <[exa]> | spoiler: I got some stuff to merge that is so messed up that yakshaving a new mergetool will save an order of magnitude of effort |
| 2025-07-13 10:58:43 +0200 | <[exa]> | tomsmeding: yeah well aware of that |

| 2025-07-13 10:36:46 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | (like "how far is distant enough") |
| 2025-07-13 10:36:38 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | and include some of the arbitrary choices/heuristics made in the algorithm |
| 2025-07-13 10:36:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | so any property to prove/test about a merge algorithm will necessarily have to be lower-level than "it does the right thing" |
| 2025-07-13 10:35:47 +0200 | trickard_ | trickard |
| 2025-07-13 10:35:40 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | because in code, changes are sometimes nonlocal, and merging will consider spacially distant changes to be logically unrelated |
| 2025-07-13 10:35:01 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | also even if you give merging a spec, if that spec includes behaviour of current conventional merge algorithms, then it's still insufficient to actually be able to trust it in practice |
| 2025-07-13 10:32:23 +0200 | <[exa]> | hm maybe I generate a random merged file with conflicts, make the orig+mine+yours from that, and see what happens |

| 2025-07-13 10:31:35 +0200 | <[exa]> | I could go the hard way and deconstruct the diff-zipping algorithm into a generator but that's more effort than I hoped for |

| 2025-07-13 10:30:52 +0200 | <[exa]> | so kinda wondering how to relate it to the originals |
| 2025-07-13 10:30:44 +0200 | <[exa]> | with diff3 you have this orig+mine+yours and it produces a merged thing |
| 2025-07-13 10:30:41 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | merge is like "yolo if I can make it work it's probably fine" |
