NAME
----
-git-resolve-script - Script used to merge two trees
+git-resolve-script - Merge two commits
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-resolve-script'
+'git resolve' <current> <merged> <message>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-This script is used by Linus to merge two trees.
+Given two commits and a merge message, merge the <merged> commit
+into <current> commit, with the commit log message <message>.
+
+When <current> is a descendant of <merged>, or <current> is an
+ancestor of <merged>, no new commit is created and the <message>
+is ignored. The former is informally called "already up to
+date", and the latter is often called "fast forward".
