[git-users] What mechanisms for code comparison and merge between versions on git are used?

[Carlos Andrade]

Hi,

I was interested on learning more about the mechanisms used on git to 
verify if a certain code has been modified or not and how the merge 
function works. Is there any non-code documentation available for this? I 
would also be interested on knowing if git employs any abstract syntax tree 
comparisons during this comparison between versions and merging (or maybe 
anywhere else) for any of its usage.

Thank you in advance,

Carlos

 Hi Carlos,

 You should be able to find some more hints on how merging works here:
 http://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge

 I also find the Git book explains the basics pretty well here:
 http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Git-Basics

 And more in detail here:  http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Internals
