9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git-merge' [-n] [-s <strategy>]... <msg> <head> <remote> <remote>...
14 DESCRIPTION
15 -----------
16 This is the top-level user interface to the merge machinery
17 which drives multiple merge strategy scripts.
20 OPTIONS
21 -------
22 -n::
23 Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
25 -s <strategy>::
26 use that merge strategy; can be given more than once to
27 specify them in the order they should be tried. If
28 there is no `-s` option, built-in list of strategies is
29 used instead.
31 <head>::
32 our branch head commit.
34 <remote>::
35 other branch head merged into our branch. You need at
36 least one <remote>. Specifying more than one <remote>
37 obviously means you are trying an Octopus.
