In-Memory Merge

Status: Project

Main proponents: Sean Farley (smf)

/!\ This is a speculative project and does not represent any firm decisions on future behavior.

Following up on my previous Google Summer of Code (2013), I plan to finish implementing in-memory merge. This will allow a full merge, in-memory, without needed to change the working directory. The benefits of this are many but most notably is a large speed-up for rebase and the ability to preview a merge.

1. Goal

Pretty sparse right now. See below for more info.

2. Detailed description

There are some bumps in the road that will need some thinking. Things such as conflicts, large files, etc.

3. Roadmap
