--strategy=<strategy>::
When merging notes, resolve notes conflicts using the given
strategy. The following strategies are recognized: "manual"
- (default), "ours", "theirs" and "union".
+ (default), "ours", "theirs", "union" and "cat_sort_uniq".
See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section below for more
information on each notes merge strategy.
"union" automatically resolves notes conflicts by concatenating the
local and remote versions.
+"cat_sort_uniq" is similar to "union", but in addition to concatenating
+the local and remote versions, this strategy also sorts the resulting
+lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent
+to applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the local and
+remote versions. This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based
+format where one wants to avoid duplicated lines in the merge result.
+Note that if either the local or remote version contain duplicate lines
+prior to the merge, these will also be removed by this notes merge
+strategy.
