NAME

       git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index

SYNOPSIS

       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 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 index. For
       this reason, the output from the command omits entries that match
       <branch1> tree.
