+--summary::
+ Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
+ controlled by the configuration option merge.diffstat.
+
+-n, \--no-summary::
+ Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
+
+--no-commit::
+ Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
+ not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
+ further tweak the merge result before committing.
+
+--squash::
+ Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
+ merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
+ move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
+ cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
+ commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
+ top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
+ merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
+
+-s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
+ Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
+ once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
+ If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
+ is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
+ head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
