2010-08-06merge-recursive --renormalizeLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+12
Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the merge.renormalize configuration. The --no-renormalize option can be used to override it in the negative. So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.: git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch or git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch or git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most commands. And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

2010-01-17Document that merge strategies can now take their own optionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+28

2009-11-15Documentation: clarify 'ours' merge strategyLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+3
Make it clear in the docs that the merge takes the tree of HEAD and ignores everything in the other branches. This should hopefully clear up confusion, usually caused by the user looking for a strategy that resolves all conflict hunks in favour of HEAD (which is completely different and currently not supported).
