-MERGE STRATEGIES
-----------------
-
-The merge mechanism (`git merge` and `git pull` commands) allows the
-backend 'merge strategies' to be chosen with `-s` option.  Some strategies
-can also take their own options, which can be passed by giving `-X<option>`
-arguments to `git merge` and/or `git pull`.
-
-resolve::
-	This can only resolve two heads (i.e. the current branch
-	and another branch you pulled from) using a 3-way merge
-	algorithm.  It tries to carefully detect criss-cross
-	merge ambiguities and is considered generally safe and
-	fast.
-
-recursive::
-	This can only resolve two heads using a 3-way merge
-	algorithm.  When there is more than one common
-	ancestor that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a
-	merged tree of the common ancestors and uses that as
-	the reference tree for the 3-way merge.  This has been
-	reported to result in fewer merge conflicts without
-	causing mismerges by tests done on actual merge commits
-	taken from Linux 2.6 kernel development history.
-	Additionally this can detect and handle merges involving
-	renames, but currently cannot make use of detected
-	copies.  This is the default merge strategy when pulling
-	or merging one branch.
-+
-The 'recursive' strategy can take the following options:
-
-ours;;
-	This option forces conflicting hunks to be auto-resolved cleanly by
-	favoring 'our' version.  Changes from the other tree that do not
-	conflict with our side are reflected to the merge result.
-	For a binary file, the entire contents are taken from our side.
-+
-This should not be confused with the 'ours' merge strategy, which does not
-even look at what the other tree contains at all.  It discards everything
-the other tree did, declaring 'our' history contains all that happened in it.
-
-theirs;;
-	This is the opposite of 'ours'; note that, unlike 'ours', there is
-	no 'theirs' merge strategy to confuse this merge option with.
-
-patience;;
-	With this option, 'merge-recursive' spends a little extra time
-	to avoid mismerges that sometimes occur due to unimportant
-	matching lines (e.g., braces from distinct functions).  Use
-	this when the branches to be merged have diverged wildly.
-	See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `--patience`.
-
-diff-algorithm=[patience|minimal|histogram|myers];;
-	Tells 'merge-recursive' to use a different diff algorithm, which
-	can help avoid mismerges that occur due to unimportant matching
-	lines (such as braces from distinct functions).  See also
-	linkgit:git-diff[1] `--diff-algorithm`.
-
-ignore-space-change;;
-ignore-all-space;;
-ignore-space-at-eol;;
-ignore-cr-at-eol;;
-	Treats lines with the indicated type of whitespace change as
-	unchanged for the sake of a three-way merge.  Whitespace
-	changes mixed with other changes to a line are not ignored.
-	See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `-b`, `-w`,
-	`--ignore-space-at-eol`, and `--ignore-cr-at-eol`.
-+
-* If 'their' version only introduces whitespace changes to a line,
-  'our' version is used;
-* If 'our' version introduces whitespace changes but 'their'
-  version includes a substantial change, 'their' version is used;
-* Otherwise, the merge proceeds in the usual way.
-
-renormalize;;
-	This runs a virtual check-out and check-in of all three stages
-	of a file when resolving a three-way merge.  This option is
-	meant to be used when merging branches with different clean
-	filters or end-of-line normalization rules.  See "Merging
-	branches with differing checkin/checkout attributes" in
-	linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-no-renormalize;;
-	Disables the `renormalize` option.  This overrides the
-	`merge.renormalize` configuration variable.
-
-no-renames;;
-	Turn off rename detection. This overrides the `merge.renames`
-	configuration variable.
-	See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `--no-renames`.
-
-find-renames[=<n>];;
-	Turn on rename detection, optionally setting the similarity
-	threshold.  This is the default. This overrides the
-	'merge.renames' configuration variable.
-	See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `--find-renames`.
-
-rename-threshold=<n>;;
-	Deprecated synonym for `find-renames=<n>`.
-
-subtree[=<path>];;
-	This option is a more advanced form of 'subtree' strategy, where
-	the strategy makes a guess on how two trees must be shifted to
-	match with each other when merging.  Instead, the specified path
-	is prefixed (or stripped from the beginning) to make the shape of
-	two trees to match.
-
-octopus::
-	This resolves cases with more than two heads, but refuses to do
-	a complex merge that needs manual resolution.  It is
-	primarily meant to be used for bundling topic branch
-	heads together.  This is the default merge strategy when
-	pulling or merging more than one branch.
-
-ours::
-	This resolves any number of heads, but the resulting tree of the
-	merge is always that of the current branch head, effectively
-	ignoring all changes from all other branches.  It is meant to
-	be used to supersede old development history of side
-	branches.  Note that this is different from the -Xours option to
-	the 'recursive' merge strategy.
-
-subtree::
-	This is a modified recursive strategy. When merging trees A and
-	B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A, B is first adjusted to
-	match the tree structure of A, instead of reading the trees at
-	the same level. This adjustment is also done to the common
-	ancestor tree.
-
-With the strategies that use 3-way merge (including the default, 'recursive'),
-if a change is made on both branches, but later reverted on one of the
-branches, that change will be present in the merged result; some people find
-this behavior confusing.  It occurs because only the heads and the merge base
-are considered when performing a merge, not the individual commits.  The merge
-algorithm therefore considers the reverted change as no change at all, and
-substitutes the changed version instead.
