2 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
3 controlled by the configuration option merge.diffstat.
6 Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
9 Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
10 not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
11 further tweak the merge result before committing.
14 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
15 be used to override --no-commit.
18 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
19 merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
20 move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
21 cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
22 commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
23 top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
24 merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
27 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
28 be used to override --squash.
31 Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
35 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
36 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
37 the default behavior of git-merge.
39 -s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
40 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
41 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
42 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
43 is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
44 head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
