13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and
16conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to
17what three-way read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the
18results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the
19standard output.
20
21This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute
22merge results outside index, and stuff the results back into the
23index. For this reason, the output from the command omits
24entries that match <branch1> tree.
