conflicts: escape conflict markers by making them longer
If a file contains lines which look like conflict markers, then we need to make the real conflict markers longer so that the materialized conflicts can be parsed unambiguously. When parsing the conflict, we require that the conflict markers are at least as long as the materialized conflict markers based on the current tree. This can lead to some unintuitive edge cases which will be solved in the next commit. For instance, if we have a file explaining the differences between Jujutsu's conflict markers and Git's conflict markers, it could produce a conflict with long markers like this: ``` <<<<<<<<<<< Conflict 1 of 1 %%%%%%%%%%% Changes from base to side #1 Jujutsu uses different conflict markers than Git, which just shows the -sides of a conflict without a diff. +sides of a conflict without a diff: + +<<<<<<< +left +||||||| +base +======= +right +>>>>>>> +++++++++++ Contents of side #2 Jujutsu uses different conflict markers than Git: <<<<<<< %%%%%%% -base +left +++++++ right >>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>> Conflict 1 of 1 ends ``` We should support these options for "git" conflict marker style as well, since Git actually does support producing longer conflict markers in some cases through .gitattributes: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_conflict_marker_size We may also want to support passing the conflict marker length to merge tools as well in the future, since Git supports a "%L" parameter to pass the conflict marker length to merge drivers: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_defining_a_custom_merge_driver
