DESCRIPTION
switched to. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree
since <commit> are lost.
+--merge::
+ Resets the index to match the tree recorded by the named commit,
+ and updates the files that are different between the named commit
+ and the current commit in the working tree.

-q::
Be quiet, only report errors.
$ git pull <1>
Auto-merging nitfol
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in nitfol

+that the change in the other branch is unsatisfactory. Running
+"git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD" will let you go back to where you
