I think `--exec true` would be better as it makes it clear that it's not
a timing issue. I've changed do_recursive_merge() to print the mtime and
mode of "DS" before and after the merge which gives
HEAD is now at abd8fe3 side1
Rebasing (1/2) # picking commit1
DS mtime, mode before merge 1582109854, 120000
DS mtime, mode after merge 0, 120000
Rebasing (2/2) # picking commit2
DS mtime, mode before merge 0, 120000
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge:
DS
So it looks like the problem is that when we pick commit1 we don't
update the index entry for DS properly in merge_trees()
Best Wishes
