'git merge --abort' is equivalent to 'git reset --merge' when
`MERGE_HEAD` is present.
---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, and the list

- this option. Also `git pull` does not pass this option down
- to `git merge` (instead, you `git fetch` first, examine what
- you will be merging and then `git merge` locally with this
- option).
