Is it just to make sure we have a reference to the 'static' method without actually calling it anywhere? "weird-looking patch" indeed! I'm more confused than anything. Thanks, -Stolee

I know it's not used yet, but I really need it there, so I have to fake the compiler out with a lame expression (take the address of the function, cast to void, and discard the result since I don't assign it anywhere or anything). > "weird-looking patch" indeed! I'm more confused than anything. In general, rename detection occurs before process_entry() and thus process_entry() can handle the content merging. However, some unusual rename conflicts require multiple content merges (and possibly result in nested conflict markers) and so the rename code needs to be able to call handle_content_merge() for the first of those. I really wanted to split apart the series for rename detection (12 patches), and the one for more conflict handling (10 patches), especially since the latter series includes 6 patches for building up handle_content_merge() (3 for regular file content merging and another 3 for submodule "merging"). The two series are nearly orthogonal, but I had to somehow allow the rename side to call handle_content_merge() without having both series try to introduce the same function. Hence this patch.
