# This module implements an automatic merge algorithm for mercurial's tag files
#
# The tagmerge algorithm implemented in this module is able to resolve most
# merge conflicts that currently would trigger a .hgtags merge conflict. The
# only case that it does not (and cannot) handle is that in which two tags point
# to different revisions on each merge parent _and_ their corresponding tag
# histories have the same rank (i.e. the same length). In all other cases the
# merge algorithm will choose the revision belonging to the parent with the
# highest ranked tag history. The merged tag history is the combination of both
# tag histories (special care is taken to try to combine common tag histories
# where possible).
#
# In addition to actually merging the tags from two parents, taking into
# account the base, the algorithm also tries to minimize the difference
# between the merged tag file and the first parent's tag file (i.e. it tries to
# make the merged tag order as as similar as possible to the first parent's tag
# file order).
#
# The algorithm works as follows:
# 1. read the tags from p1, p2 and the base
#     - when reading the p1 tags, also get the line numbers associated to each
#       tag node (these will be used to sort the merged tags in a way that
#       minimizes the diff to p1). Ignore the file numbers when reading p2 and
#       the base
# 2. recover the "lost tags" (i.e. those that are found in the base but not on
#    p1 or p2) and add them back to p1 and/or p2
#     - at this point the only tags that are on p1 but not on p2 are those new
#       tags that were introduced in p1. Same thing for the tags that are on p2
#       but not on p2
# 3. take all tags that are only on p1 or only on p2 (but not on the base)
#     - Note that these are the tags that were introduced between base and p1
#       and between base and p2, possibly on separate clones
# 4. for each tag found both on p1 and p2 perform the following merge algorithm:
#     - the tags conflict if their tag "histories" have the same "rank" (i.e.
#       length) AND the last (current) tag is NOT the same
#     - for non conflicting tags:
#         - choose which are the high and the low ranking nodes
#             - the high ranking list of nodes is the one that is longer.
#               In case of draw favor p1
#             - the merged node list is made of 3 parts:
#                 - first the nodes that are common to the beginning of both
#                   the low and the high ranking nodes
#                 - second the non common low ranking nodes
#                 - finally the non common high ranking nodes (with the last
#                   one being the merged tag node)
#             - note that this is equivalent to putting the whole low ranking
#               node list first, followed by the non common high ranking nodes
#     - note that during the merge we keep the "node line numbers", which will
#       be used when writing the merged tags to the tag file
# 5. write the merged tags taking into account to their positions in the first
#    parent (i.e. try to keep the relative ordering of the nodes that come
#    from p1). This minimizes the diff between the merged and the p1 tag files
#    This is done by using the following algorithm
#     - group the nodes for a given tag that must be written next to each other
#         - A: nodes that come from consecutive lines on p1
#         - B: nodes that come from p2 (i.e. whose associated line number is
#              None) and are next to one of the a nodes in A
#         - each group is associated with a line number coming from p1
#     - generate a "tag block" for each of the groups
#         - a tag block is a set of consecutive "node tag" lines belonging to
#           the same tag and which will be written next to each other on the
#           merged tags file
#     - sort the "tag blocks" according to their associated number line
#         - put blocks whose nodes come all from p2 first
#     - write the tag blocks in the sorted order
