This project has two branches for a [email protected] project.

The main branch installed JSON@auto.

The json-4.09 branch installed [email protected] and then Tiny-Tidy@auto.

Attempting to merge json-4.09 into main will result in a buildscript.as and .activestate/commit merge conflict.

Resolving the buildscript.as to JSON@auto and Tiny-Tidy@auto and .activestate/commit to whatever will invoke the .git/hooks/pre-commit hook that checks for a change to buildscript.as and, if there is one, runs state commit (which updates .activestate/commit), and updates .activestate/commit, overwriting any user change to that file.

Here's an example terminal session:

1. Attempt the merge.

me@Activm MINGW64 ~/tmp/hooks2 (main)
$ git merge json-4.09
Auto-merging .activestate/commit
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in .activestate/commit
Auto-merging buildscript.as
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in buildscript.as
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

2. Resolve conflicts and notify Git.

me@Activm MINGW64 ~/tmp/hooks2 (main|MERGING)
$ git add .activestate/commit buildscript.as

3. Continue the merge, which triggers the pre-commit hook to update .activestate/commit and then finish the merge.

me@Activm MINGW64 ~/tmp/hooks2 (main|MERGING)
$ git merge --continue
running pre-commit git hook
buildscript.as changed, running 'state commit'
