   1merge.conflictstyle::
   2        Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to
   3        working tree files upon merge.  The default is "merge", which
   4        shows a `<<<<<<<` conflict marker, changes made by one side,
   5        a `=======` marker, changes made by the other side, and then
   6        a `>>>>>>>` marker.  An alternate style, "diff3", adds a `|||||||`
   7        marker and the original text before the `=======` marker.
   8
   9merge.defaultToUpstream::
  10        If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream
  11        branches configured for the current branch by using their last
  12        observed values stored in their remote tracking branches.
  13        The values of the `branch.<current branch>.merge` that name the
  14        branches at the remote named by `branch.<current branch>.remote`
  15        are consulted, and then they are mapped via `remote.<remote>.fetch`
  16        to their corresponding remote tracking branches, and the tips of
  17        these tracking branches are merged.
  18
  19merge.log::
  20        In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at
  21        most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the
  22        actual commits that are being merged.  Defaults to false, and
  23        true is a synonym for 20.
  24
  25merge.renameLimit::
  26        The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
  27        during a merge; if not specified, defaults to the value of
  28        diff.renameLimit.
  29
  30merge.renormalize::
  31        Tell git that canonical representation of files in the
  32        repository has changed over time (e.g. earlier commits record
  33        text files with CRLF line endings, but recent ones use LF line
  34        endings).  In such a repository, git can convert the data
  35        recorded in commits to a canonical form before performing a
  36        merge to reduce unnecessary conflicts.  For more information,
  37        see section "Merging branches with differing checkin/checkout
  38        attributes" in linkgit:gitattributes[5].
  39
  40merge.stat::
  41        Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result
  42        at the end of the merge.  True by default.
  43
  44merge.tool::
  45        Controls which merge resolution program is used by
  46        linkgit:git-mergetool[1].  Valid built-in values are: "araxis",
  47        "bc3", "diffuse", "ecmerge", "emerge", "gvimdiff", "kdiff3", "meld",
  48        "opendiff", "p4merge", "tkdiff", "tortoisemerge", "vimdiff"
  49        and "xxdiff".  Any other value is treated is custom merge tool
  50        and there must be a corresponding mergetool.<tool>.cmd option.
  51
  52merge.verbosity::
  53        Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
  54        strategy.  Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error
  55        message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only
  56        conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes.  Level 5 and
  57        above outputs debugging information.  The default is level 2.
  58        Can be overridden by the 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
  59
  60merge.<driver>.name::
  61        Defines a human-readable name for a custom low-level
  62        merge driver.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
  63
  64merge.<driver>.driver::
  65        Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
  66        merge driver.  See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
  67
  68merge.<driver>.recursive::
  69        Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
  70        performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
  71        See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
