I'm trying to merge the following two files:

• https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/1.1.320/package-lock.json
• https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/1.1.320/packages/pyright-internal/package-lock.json

using the default strategy but am getting

This might be caused by a bug in jsonschema related to resolving JSON pointers with empty strings.

Using jsonschema 4.18.4 and referencing 0.30.0:

from jsonschema.validators import RefResolver

doc = {"": 0}
resolver = RefResolver("urn:foo", doc)

with resolver.resolving("#/") as resolved:
	# resolves to {"": 0}, but should resolve to 0
	# as per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901#section-6
	print(resolved)

The new referencing library that replaces the RefResolver works correctly however:

import referencing
import referencing.jsonschema

doc = {"": 0}

resource = referencing.Resource.from_contents(doc, default_specification=referencing.jsonschema.DRAFT4)
registry = referencing.Registry().with_resource("urn:foo", resource)
resolver = registry.resolver_with_root(resource)

resolved = resolver.lookup("#/")

# resolves to 0 correctly
print(resolved.contents)

With RefResolver being deprecated I'm not sure this will get fixed.

Unfortunately porting jsonmerge from RefResolver to referencing is not trivial either.
