Improve resolving non-textual and submodule merge conflicts - #5735
Merged
Conversation
Some merge conflicts can't be resolved by editing markers in the merge view; they require a dialog that picks one side (the "non-textual" conflicts like DD/AU/UA/UD/DU). Both `enter` and, soon, `space` need to recognize these, so pull the test into a shared predicate and rename handleNonInlineConflict to openConflictResolutionMenu to match. Restructure EnterFile so the predicate is checked first, ahead of the submodule and inline-conflict branches. This is its final shape: upcoming commits only add the submodule case to the predicate, with no further reordering. Behavior is unchanged here, since the predicate is currently false for submodules.

For a non-textual conflict (e.g. DD/AU/UA/UD/DU), pressing space used to run the normal stage path, which did something unclear: `git add` happens to resolve the conflict by keeping the file, but that's neither obvious nor symmetric. Route a single such file to the same Keep/Delete picker that enter opens, so space and enter agree. For a range selection that includes one of these conflicts, staging makes no sense, so disable it with a toast that points the user at resolving them one at a time. (Entering a range was already disabled with the standard toast.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When both sides of a merge moved a submodule's gitlink, git reports it as "UU". Pressing space used to fall into the submodule no-op guard and pop the confusing "Nothing to stage..." error, and enter just entered the submodule, which does nothing to resolve the superproject conflict. Treat a conflicted submodule like the other non-textual conflicts: both space and enter now open a picker offering the two candidate commits, "current" and "incoming", each labelled with its summary. `git checkout --ours/--theirs` is a no-op on gitlinks, so we resolve by checking the submodule out at the chosen commit and staging it.

When a conflicted submodule is selected, the main view shows the commits each side added relative to their common ancestor as two indented logs, labelled current and incoming, so it's clear which commit each side would resolve to. The logs aren't truncated (the view scrolls). If a side added no commits of its own (e.g. it was rewound to an ancestor of the other), its head commit is shown instead.

GetOnRenderToMain had grown to handle five distinct rendering cases inline (no selection, submodule conflict, inline text conflict, non-textual text conflict, and the normal working-tree diff), which made it hard to follow. Split each case into its own method so the function reads as a short dispatcher, and pull the repeated main-view boilerplate into renderToMainWithTask. Pure refactor; no behavior change.

For a submodule conflict (where the two branches point the submodule at different commits, resulting in a
UUstatus), pressing space would show a confusing "Nothing to stage…" error, and enter just stepped into the submodule; neither is helpful for resolving the conflict. Now both space and enter open a dialog where you can pick the current commit or the incoming commit, each shown with its head commit subject so you know what you're choosing. And the main panel explains the conflict and lists the commits each side added, so you can see how they diverged before deciding.This now behaves very similarly to the way you resolve non-textual conflicts for text files (e.g.
AUorUD). Speaking of which: for these it was still possible to press space to stage them, which simply rangit add, whose behavior in this case is to keep the file. This is neither obvious nor symmetric, so we change this to route space to the conflict picker too, like enter.
