- The way of doing conflict testing via `git apply` stems from Gogs, it was replaced in Gitea 1.18 by `git read-tree -m` which uses 3-way merge [^0]. The option to disable the fallback `git apply` was introduced in Gitea 1.19 and enabled by default [^1].
- Given it was mostly kept just in case `git read-tree -m` was shown to be unreliable and it has been sufficiently battle tested with no known issues (in Forgejo), it's time to remove this way of conflict testing. I am not aware of anyone using this option or having any benefits over a 3-way merge via `git read-tree -m`.
