+=================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-merge-tree' <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and
+conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to
+what three-way read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the
+results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the
+standard output.
+
+This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute
+merge results outside index, and stuff the results back into the
+index. For this reason, the output from the command omits
+entries that match <branch1> tree.
