Subject: [PATCH 02/19] doc: document --overwrite-ignore

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 16:48:14 +0700

I added this option in git-checkout and git-merge in c1d7036b6b
(checkout,merge: disallow overwriting ignored files with
--no-overwrite-ignore - 2011-11-27) but did not remember to update
documentation. This completes that commit.
