The previous commit said:
We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed
through to underlying "git merge". I do not have a fundamental
opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do
so and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others,
because such a "two project merge" would be done after fetching
the other project into some location in the working tree of an
existing project and making sure how well they fit together, it
is sufficient to allow a local merge without such an option
pass-through from "git pull" to "git merge".
Prepare a patch to make it a reality, just in case it is needed.

--commit::
|
|
--no-commit::
|
|
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
|
|
be used to override --no-commit.
|
|
+
|
|
With --no-commit perform the merge but pretend the merge
|
|
failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to
|
|
inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing.
|
|
|
|
--edit::
|
|
-e::
|
|
--no-edit::
|
|
Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to
|
|
further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user
|
|
can explain and justify the merge. The `--no-edit` option can be
|
|
used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally
|
|
discouraged).
|
|
ifndef::git-pull[]
|
|
The `--edit` (or `-e`) option is still useful if you are
|
|
giving a draft message with the `-m` option from the command line
|
|
and want to edit it in the editor.
|
|
endif::git-pull[]
|
|
+
|
|
Older scripts may depend on the historical behaviour of not allowing the
|
|
user to edit the merge log message. They will see an editor opened when
|
|
they run `git merge`. To make it easier to adjust such scripts to the
|
|
updated behaviour, the environment variable `GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT` can be
|
|
set to `no` at the beginning of them.
|
|
|
|
--ff::
|
|
When the merge resolves as a fast-forward, only update the branch
|
|
pointer, without creating a merge commit. This is the default
|
|
behavior.
|
|
|
|
--no-ff::
|
|
Create a merge commit even when the merge resolves as a
|
|
fast-forward. This is the default behaviour when merging an
|
|
annotated (and possibly signed) tag.
|
|
|
|
--ff-only::
|
|
Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the
|
|
current `HEAD` is already up-to-date or the merge can be
|
|
resolved as a fast-forward.
|
|
|
|
--log[=<n>]::
|
|
--no-log::
|
|
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
|
|
one-line descriptions from at most <n> actual commits that are being
|
|
merged. See also linkgit:git-fmt-merge-msg[1].
|
|
+
|
|
With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
|
|
actual commits being merged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
--stat::
|
|
-n::
|
|
--no-stat::
|
|
Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
|
|
controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
|
|
+
|
|
With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
|
|
merge.
|
|
|
|
--squash::
|
|
--no-squash::
|
|
Produce the working tree and index state as if a real merge
|
|
happened (except for the merge information), but do not actually
|
|
make a commit, move the `HEAD`, or record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD`
|
|
(to cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
|
|
commit). This allows you to create a single commit on top of
|
|
the current branch whose effect is the same as merging another
|
|
branch (or more in case of an octopus).
|
|
+
|
|
With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
|
|
option can be used to override --squash.
|
|
|
|
-s <strategy>::
|
|
--strategy=<strategy>::
|
|
Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
|
|
once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
|
|
If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
|
|
is used instead ('git merge-recursive' when merging a single
|
|
head, 'git merge-octopus' otherwise).
|
|
|
|
-X <option>::
|
|
--strategy-option=<option>::
|
|
Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge
|
|
strategy.
|
|
|
|
--verify-signatures::
|
|
--no-verify-signatures::
|
|
Verify that the commits being merged have good and trusted GPG signatures
|
|
and abort the merge in case they do not.
|
|
|
|
--summary::
|
|
--no-summary::
|
|
Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
|
|
removed in the future.
|
|
|
|
ifndef::git-pull[]
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Operate quietly. Implies --no-progress.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be verbose.
|
|
|
|
--progress::
|
|
--no-progress::
|
|
Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified,
|
|
progress is shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
|
|
Note that not all merge strategies may support progress
|
|
reporting.
|
|
|
|
endif::git-pull[]
|
|
|
|
--allow-unrelated-histories::
|
|
By default, `git merge` command refuses to merge histories
|
|
that do not share a common ancestor. This option can be
|
|
used to override this safety when merging histories of two
|
|
projects that started their lives independently. As that is
|
|
a very rare occasion, no configuration variable to enable
|
|
this by default exists and will not be added.
