+--exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>::
+       When running the command with `-u` and `-m` options, the
+       merge result may need to overwrite paths that are not
+       tracked in the current branch.  The command usually
+       refuses to proceed with the merge to avoid losing such a
+       path.  However this safety valve sometimes gets in the
+       way.  For example, it often happens that the other
+       branch added a file that used to be a generated file in
+       your branch, and the safety valve triggers when you try
+       to switch to that branch after you ran `make` but before
+       running `make clean` to remove the generated file.  This
+       option tells the command to read per-directory exclude
+       file (usually '.gitignore') and allows such an untracked
+       but explicitly ignored file to be overwritten.
+
+--index-output=<file>::
+       Instead of writing the results out to `$GIT_INDEX_FILE`,
+       write the resulting index in the named file.  While the
+       command is operating, the original index file is locked
+       with the same mechanism as usual.  The file must allow
+       to be rename(2)ed into from a temporary file that is
+       created next to the usual index file; typically this
+       means it needs to be on the same filesystem as the index
+       file itself, and you need write permission to the
+       directories the index file and index output file are
+       located in.
