Documentation / merge-options.txton commit cvsexportcommit: Create config option for CVS dir (325abb7)
   1--stat::
   2        Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
   3        controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
   4
   5-n, \--no-stat::
   6        Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
   7
   8--summary, \--no-summary::
   9        Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
  10        removed in the future.
  11
  12--log::
  13        In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
  14        one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
  15        merged.
  16
  17--no-log::
  18        Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
  19        merged.
  20
  21--no-commit::
  22        Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
  23        not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
  24        further tweak the merge result before committing.
  25
  26--commit::
  27        Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
  28        be used to override --no-commit.
  29
  30--squash::
  31        Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
  32        merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
  33        move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
  34        cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
  35        commit.  This allows you to create a single commit on
  36        top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
  37        merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
  38
  39--no-squash::
  40        Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
  41        be used to override --squash.
  42
  43--no-ff::
  44        Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
  45        fast-forward.
  46
  47--ff::
  48        Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
  49        a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
  50        the default behavior of git-merge.
  51
  52-s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
  53        Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
  54        once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
  55        If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
  56        is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
  57        head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
