1 -n, \--no-summary::
2 Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
3
4 --no-commit::
5 Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
6 not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
7 further tweak the merge result before committing.
8
9 --squash::
10 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
11 merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
12 move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
13 cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
14 commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
15 top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
16 merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
17
18 -s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
19 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
20 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
21 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
22 is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
23 head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
