-       Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
-       strategy.  Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error
-       message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only
-       conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes.  Level 5 and
-       above outputs debugging information.  The default is level 2.
-       Can be overridden by 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.

 HOW MERGE WORKS
 ---------------
 
 A merge is always between the current `HEAD` and one or more
-remote branch heads, and the index file must exactly match the
+commits (usually, branch head or tag), and the index file must
+exactly match the
 tree of `HEAD` commit (i.e. the contents of the last commit) when
 it happens.  In other words, `git-diff --cached HEAD` must
 report no changes.
