+merge.conflictstyle::
+ Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to
+ working tree files upon merge. The default is "merge", which
+ shows a `<<<<<<<` conflict marker, changes made by one side,
+ a `=======` marker, changes made by the other side, and then
+ a `>>>>>>>` marker. An alternate style, "diff3", adds a `|||||||`
+ marker and the original text before the `=======` marker.
+
+merge.log::
+ Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
+ merge commit messages. False by default.
+
+merge.renameLimit::
+ The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
+ during a merge; if not specified, defaults to the value of
+ diff.renameLimit.
+
+merge.stat::
+ Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result
+ at the end of the merge. True by default.
+
+merge.tool::
+ Controls which merge resolution program is used by
+ linkgit:git-mergetool[1]. Valid built-in values are: "kdiff3",
+ "tkdiff", "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", "gvimdiff",
+ "diffuse", "ecmerge", "tortoisemerge", "p4merge", "araxis" and
+ "opendiff". Any other value is treated is custom merge tool
+ and there must be a corresponding mergetool.<tool>.cmd option.
+
+merge.verbosity::
+ 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 the 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
+
+merge.<driver>.name::
+ Defines a human-readable name for a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.driver::
+ Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.recursive::
+ Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
+ performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
+ See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
