-NAME

-git-merge-file - Run a three-way file merge
-

-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'git merge-file' [-L <current-name> [-L <base-name> [-L <other-name>]]]
-	[--ours|--theirs|--union] [-p|--stdout] [-q|--quiet] [--marker-size=<n>]
-	[--[no-]diff3] <current-file> <base-file> <other-file>

-DESCRIPTION
------------
-'git merge-file' incorporates all changes that lead from the `<base-file>`
-to `<other-file>` into `<current-file>`. The result ordinarily goes into
-`<current-file>`. 'git merge-file' is useful for combining separate changes
-to an original. Suppose `<base-file>` is the original, and both
-`<current-file>` and `<other-file>` are modifications of `<base-file>`,
-then 'git merge-file' combines both changes.
-
-A conflict occurs if both `<current-file>` and `<other-file>` have changes
-in a common segment of lines. If a conflict is found, 'git merge-file'
-normally outputs a warning and brackets the conflict with lines containing
-<<<<<<< and >>>>>>> markers. A typical conflict will look like this:
-
-	<<<<<<< A
-	lines in file A
-	=======
-	lines in file B
-	>>>>>>> B
-
-If there are conflicts, the user should edit the result and delete one of
-the alternatives.  When `--ours`, `--theirs`, or `--union` option is in effect,
-however, these conflicts are resolved favouring lines from `<current-file>`,
-lines from `<other-file>`, or lines from both respectively.  The length of the
-conflict markers can be given with the `--marker-size` option.
-
-The exit value of this program is negative on error, and the number of
-conflicts otherwise (truncated to 127 if there are more than that many
-conflicts). If the merge was clean, the exit value is 0.
-
-'git merge-file' is designed to be a minimal clone of RCS 'merge'; that is, it
-implements all of RCS 'merge''s functionality which is needed by
-linkgit:git[1].

-OPTIONS
--------
-
--L <label>::
-	This option may be given up to three times, and
-	specifies labels to be used in place of the
-	corresponding file names in conflict reports. That is,
-	`git merge-file -L x -L y -L z a b c` generates output that
-	looks like it came from files x, y and z instead of
-	from files a, b and c.
-
--p::
-	Send results to standard output instead of overwriting
-	`<current-file>`.
-
--q::
-	Quiet; do not warn about conflicts.
-
---diff3::
-	Show conflicts in "diff3" style.
-
---ours::
---theirs::
---union::
-	Instead of leaving conflicts in the file, resolve conflicts
-	favouring our (or their or both) side of the lines.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-`git merge-file README.my README README.upstream`::
-
-	combines the changes of README.my and README.upstream since README,
-	tries to merge them and writes the result into README.my.
-
-`git merge-file -L a -L b -L c tmp/a123 tmp/b234 tmp/c345`::
-
-	merges tmp/a123 and tmp/c345 with the base tmp/b234, but uses labels
-	`a` and `c` instead of `tmp/a123` and `tmp/c345`.
