- and abort the merge in case they do not.
+ Verify that the tip commit of the side branch being merged is
+ signed with a valid key, i.e. a key that has a valid uid: in the
+ default trust model, this means the signing key has been signed by
+ a trusted key. If the tip commit of the side branch is not signed
+ with a valid key, the merge is aborted.

+ By default, `git merge` command refuses to merge histories
+ that do not share a common ancestor. This option can be
+ used to override this safety when merging histories of two
+ projects that started their lives independently. As that is
+ a very rare occasion, no configuration variable to enable
+ this by default exists and will not be added.
