-MERGE STRATEGIES
-----------------
-
-resolve::
-	This can only resolve two heads (i.e. the current branch
-	and another branch you pulled from) using 3-way merge
-	algorithm.  It tries to carefully detect criss-cross
-	merge ambiguities and is considered generally safe and
-	fast.  This is the default merge strategy when pulling
-	one branch.
-
-recursive::
-	This can only resolve two heads using 3-way merge
-	algorithm.  When there are more than one common
-	ancestors that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a
-	merged tree of the common ancestores and uses that as
-	the reference tree for the 3-way merge.  This has been
-	reported to result in fewer merge conflicts without
-	causing mis-merges by tests done on actual merge commits
-	taken from Linux 2.6 kernel development history.
-	Additionally this can detect and handle merges involving
-	renames.
-
-octopus::
-	This resolves more than two-head case, but refuses to do
-	complex merge that needs manual resolution.  It is
-	primarily meant to be used for bundling topic branch
-	heads together.  This is the default merge strategy when
-	pulling more than one branch.
-
-ours::
-	This resolves any number of heads, but the result of the
-	merge is always the current branch head.  It is meant to
-	be used to supersede old development history of side
-	branches.
