The commits marked with `*` touch the same area in the same
file; you need to resolve the conflicts when creating the commit
-marked with `+`. Then you can test the result to make sure your

work-in-progress still works with what is in the latest master.
After this test merge, there are two ways to continue your work
on the topic. The easiest is to build on top of the test merge
-commit `+`, and when your work in the topic branch is finally
+commit `{plus}`, and when your work in the topic branch is finally
ready, pull the topic branch into master, and/or ask the
upstream to pull from you. By that time, however, the master or
-the upstream might have been advanced since the test merge `+`,
+the upstream might have been advanced since the test merge `{plus}`,
in which case the final commit graph would look like this:
