do not overwrite untracked during merge from unborn branch
In case HEAD does not point to a valid commit yet, merge is implemented as a hard reset. This will cause untracked files to be overwritten. Instead, assume the empty tree for HEAD and do a regular merge. An untracked file will cause the merge to abort and do nothing. If no conflicting files are present, the merge will have the same effect as a hard reset. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
