Merge branch 'ab/require-perl-5.8' into maint
[thirdparty/git.git] / Documentation / merge-config.txt
1 merge.conflictstyle::
2 Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to
3 working tree files upon merge. The default is "merge", which
4 shows a `<<<<<<<` conflict marker, changes made by one side,
5 a `=======` marker, changes made by the other side, and then
6 a `>>>>>>>` marker. An alternate style, "diff3", adds a `|||||||`
7 marker and the original text before the `=======` marker.
8
9 merge.log::
10 Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
11 merge commit messages. False by default.
12
13 merge.renameLimit::
14 The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
15 during a merge; if not specified, defaults to the value of
16 diff.renameLimit.
17
18 merge.renormalize::
19 Tell git that canonical representation of files in the
20 repository has changed over time (e.g. earlier commits record
21 text files with CRLF line endings, but recent ones use LF line
22 endings). In such a repository, git can convert the data
23 recorded in commits to a canonical form before performing a
24 merge to reduce unnecessary conflicts. For more information,
25 see section "Merging branches with differing checkin/checkout
26 attributes" in linkgit:gitattributes[5].
27
28 merge.stat::
29 Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result
30 at the end of the merge. True by default.
31
32 merge.tool::
33 Controls which merge resolution program is used by
34 linkgit:git-mergetool[1]. Valid built-in values are: "kdiff3",
35 "tkdiff", "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", "gvimdiff",
36 "diffuse", "ecmerge", "tortoisemerge", "p4merge", "araxis" and
37 "opendiff". Any other value is treated is custom merge tool
38 and there must be a corresponding mergetool.<tool>.cmd option.
39
40 merge.verbosity::
41 Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
42 strategy. Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error
43 message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only
44 conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
45 above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
46 Can be overridden by the 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
47
48 merge.<driver>.name::
49 Defines a human-readable name for a custom low-level
50 merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
51
52 merge.<driver>.driver::
53 Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
54 merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
55
56 merge.<driver>.recursive::
57 Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
58 performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
59 See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
