Message-ID: <65C25466-895B-4EEE-87BF-C8823AB953FE@icloud.com> (raw)

Deleting the subtree-cache directory should be safe enough, it only holds a record of previously created commit mappings, and deleting it just makes subsequent runs slower.

The data that actually determines whether you have a regular merge or a subtree merge is part of the commit message, and everything else is derived from that.
