+git-file-merge 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 <<<<<<< and +>>>>>>> lines. 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.
+The exit value of this program is negative on error, and the number of +conflicts otherwise. 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 +git(1).
++ 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. +
++ Send results to standard output instead of overwriting + <current-file>. +
++ Quiet; do not warn about conflicts. +
++ combines the changes of README.my and README.upstream since README, + tries to merge them and writes the result into README.my. +
++ merges tmp/a123 and tmp/c345 with the base tmp/b234, but uses labels + a and c instead of tmp/a123 and tmp/c345. +
