The example output of `git merge-index` has been enriched by a second "column" of helpful comments. When Asciidoctor renders this, the cells in that second column aren't aligned. Fix this by marking the example shell session as a code listing by wrapping it in "----". Also drop some of the horizontal space between the two columns so that we fit into 80 columns. This changes the rendering with both AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor. They now render this identically, nicely aligned, and within 80 columns.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-merge-index - Run a merge for files needing merging
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git merge-index' [-o] [-q] <merge-program> (-a | [--] <file>*)
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This looks up the <file>(s) in the index and, if there are any merge
|
|
entries, passes the SHA-1 hash for those files as arguments 1, 2, 3 (empty
|
|
argument if no file), and <file> as argument 4. File modes for the three
|
|
files are passed as arguments 5, 6 and 7.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
\--::
|
|
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
|
|
|
|
-a::
|
|
Run merge against all files in the index that need merging.
|
|
|
|
-o::
|
|
Instead of stopping at the first failed merge, do all of them
|
|
in one shot - continue with merging even when previous merges
|
|
returned errors, and only return the error code after all the
|
|
merges.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
Do not complain about a failed merge program (a merge program
|
|
failure usually indicates conflicts during the merge). This is for
|
|
porcelains which might want to emit custom messages.
|
|
|
|
If 'git merge-index' is called with multiple <file>s (or -a) then it
|
|
processes them in turn only stopping if merge returns a non-zero exit
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
Typically this is run with a script calling Git's imitation of
|
|
the 'merge' command from the RCS package.
|
|
|
|
A sample script called 'git merge-one-file' is included in the
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
ALERT ALERT ALERT! The Git "merge object order" is different from the
|
|
RCS 'merge' program merge object order. In the above ordering, the
|
|
original is first. But the argument order to the 3-way merge program
|
|
'merge' is to have the original in the middle. Don't ask me why.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat MM
|
|
This is MM from the original tree. # original
|
|
This is modified MM in the branch A. # merge1
|
|
This is modified MM in the branch B. # merge2
|
|
This is modified MM in the branch B. # current contents
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/merge-test> git merge-index cat AA MM
|
|
cat: : No such file or directory
|
|
This is added AA in the branch A.
|
|
This is added AA in the branch B.
|
|
This is added AA in the branch B.
|
|
fatal: merge program failed
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
where the latter example shows how 'git merge-index' will stop trying to
|
|
merge once anything has returned an error (i.e., `cat` returned an error
|
|
for the AA file, because it didn't exist in the original, and thus
|
|
'git merge-index' didn't even try to merge the MM thing).
