13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and
16conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to
29b802aa 17what three-way 'git read-tree -m' does, but instead of storing the
c16e30c0

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
29b802aa 22merge results outside of the index, and stuff the results back into the
c16e30c0 23index. For this reason, the output from the command omits
29b802aa 24entries that match the <branch1> tree.
