|  | NAME | 
|  | ---- | 
|  | git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | SYNOPSIS | 
|  | -------- | 
|  | [verse] | 
|  | 'git merge-tree' <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | DESCRIPTION | 
|  | ----------- | 
|  | Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and | 
|  | conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to | 
|  | what three-way 'git read-tree -m' does, but instead of storing the | 
|  | results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the | 
|  | standard output. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute | 
|  | merge results outside of the index, and stuff the results back into the | 
|  | index. For this reason, the output from the command omits | 
|  | entries that match the <branch1> tree. |
