+
+NAME
+----
+git-merge - Grand Unified Merge Driver
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-merge' [-n] [-s <strategy>]... <msg> <head> <remote> <remote>...
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This is the top-level user interface to the merge machinery
+which drives multiple merge strategy scripts.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-n::
+ Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
+
+-s <strategy>::
+ use that merge strategy; can be given more than once to
+ specify them in the order they should be tried. If
+ there is no `-s` option, built-in list of strategies is
+ used instead.
+
+<head>::
+ our branch head commit.
+
+<remote>::
+ other branch head merged into our branch. You need at
+ least one <remote>. Specifying more than one <remote>
+ obviously means you are trying an Octopus.
