 SYNOPSIS

-'git-resolve-script'
+'git resolve' <current> <merged> <message>
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-This script is used by Linus to merge two trees.
+Given two commits and a merge message, merge the <merged> commit
+into <current> commit, with the commit log message <message>.
+
+When <current> is a descendant of <merged>, or <current> is an
+ancestor of <merged>, no new commit is created and the <message>
+is ignored.  The former is informally called "already up to
+date", and the latter is often called "fast forward".
