At this stage in the patch series the format of MERGE_MODE is not
changed - "no-ff" is printed without "\n". What should be changed is the
next patch. Relevant part should read:
diff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c
index a96e8ea..5ceb291 100644
--- a/builtin/merge.c
+++ b/builtin/merge.c
@@ -993,6 +999,8 @@ static void write_merge_state(struct commit_list
*remoteheads)
if (fd < 0)
die_errno(_("Could not open '%s' for writing"), filename);
strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ if (reversed_order)
+ strbuf_addf(&buf, "reversed-order\n");
if (!allow_fast_forward)
strbuf_addf(&buf, "no-ff");
if (write_in_full(fd, buf.buf, buf.len) != buf.len)
This way when only no-ff is specified all parsers should be happy. If
reversed-order is specified together no-ff the "external" parser
probably would fail. Which in my opinion is a good think at this point,
as it can't correctly interpret MERGE_MODE anyway.
