 * `struct ll_merge_options`
 
-This describes the set of options the calling program wants to affect
-the operation of a low-level (single file) merge.  Some options:
-
-`virtual_ancestor`::
-	Behave as though this were part of a merge between common
-	ancestors in a recursive merge.
-	If a helper program is specified by the
-	`[merge "<driver>"] recursive` configuration, it will
-	be used (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
-
-`variant`::
-	Resolve local conflicts automatically in favor
-	of one side or the other (as in 'git merge-file'
-	`--ours`/`--theirs`/`--union`).  Can be `0`,
-	`XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_OURS`, `XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_THEIRS`, or
-	`XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_UNION`.
-
-`renormalize`::
-	Resmudge and clean the "base", "theirs" and "ours" files
-	before merging.  Use this when the merge is likely to have
-	overlapped with a change in smudge/clean or end-of-line
-	normalization rules.
+Check ll-merge.h for details.
 
 Low-level (single file) merge
 -----------------------------
 
-`ll_merge`::
-
-	Perform a three-way single-file merge in core.  This is
-	a thin wrapper around `xdl_merge` that takes the path and
-	any merge backend specified in `.gitattributes` or
-	`.git/info/attributes` into account.  Returns 0 for a
-	clean merge.
-
-Calling sequence:
-
-* Prepare a `struct ll_merge_options` to record options.
-  If you have no special requests, skip this and pass `NULL`
-  as the `opts` parameter to use the default options.
-
-* Allocate an mmbuffer_t variable for the result.
-
-* Allocate and fill variables with the file's original content
-  and two modified versions (using `read_mmfile`, for example).
-
-* Call `ll_merge()`.
-
-* Read the merged content from `result_buf.ptr` and `result_buf.size`.
-
-* Release buffers when finished.  A simple
-  `free(ancestor.ptr); free(ours.ptr); free(theirs.ptr);
-  free(result_buf.ptr);` will do.
-
-If the modifications do not merge cleanly, `ll_merge` will return a
-nonzero value and `result_buf` will generally include a description of
-the conflict bracketed by markers such as the traditional `<<<<<<<`
-and `>>>>>>>`.
-
-The `ancestor_label`, `our_label`, and `their_label` parameters are
-used to label the different sides of a conflict if the merge driver
-supports this.
-
-Everything else
----------------
-
-Talk about <merge-recursive.h> and merge_file():
-
- - merge_trees() to merge with rename detection
- - merge_recursive() for ancestor consolidation
- - try_merge_command() for other strategies
- - conflict format
- - merge options
