+[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 read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the
+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 index, and stuff the results back into the
+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 <branch1> tree.
