Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

NAME

|
|
git-merge-file - Run a three-way file merge
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git merge-file' [-L <current-name> [-L <base-name> [-L <other-name>]]]
|
|
[--ours|--theirs|--union] [-p|--stdout] [-q|--quiet] [--marker-size=<n>]
|
|
<current-file> <base-file> <other-file>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
'git merge-file' 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 lines containing
|
|
<<<<<<< and >>>>>>> markers. 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. When `--ours`, `--theirs`, or `--union` option is in effect,
|
|
however, these conflicts are resolved favouring lines from `<current-file>`,
|
|
lines from `<other-file>`, or lines from both respectively. The length of the
|
|
conflict markers can be given with the `--marker-size` option.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
linkgit:git[1].
|
|

|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-L <label>::
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
Send results to standard output instead of overwriting
|
|
`<current-file>`.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
Quiet; do not warn about conflicts.
|
|
|
|
--ours::
|
|
--theirs::
|
|
--union::
|
|
Instead of leaving conflicts in the file, resolve conflicts
|
|
favouring our (or their or both) side of the lines.
|

|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
`git merge-file README.my README README.upstream`::
|
|
|
|
combines the changes of README.my and README.upstream since README,
|
|
tries to merge them and writes the result into README.my.
|
|
|
|
`git merge-file -L a -L b -L c tmp/a123 tmp/b234 tmp/c345`::
|
|
|
|
merges tmp/a123 and tmp/c345 with the base tmp/b234, but uses labels
|
|
`a` and `c` instead of `tmp/a123` and `tmp/c345`.
