1212 <li>
1213 <p>
1214 hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, and update
1215   the index file to bring it into a state that the patch should
1216   have produced.  Then run the command with the <code>--continue</code> option.

1225 current branch.  This is useful if you have problems with multiple
1226 commits, like running <em>git am</em> on the wrong branch or an error in the
1227 commits that is more easily fixed by changing the mailbox (e.g.
1228 errors in the "From:" lines).</p></div>

1251         If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
1252         with parameter <code>--keep-cr</code>. In this case git-mailsplit will
1253         not remove <code>\r</code> from lines ending with <code>\r\n</code>. Can be overridden
1254         by giving <code>--no-keep-cr</code> from the command line.

1263         By default, <code>git am</code> will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
1264         set to true, this setting tells <code>git am</code> to fall back on 3-way merge if
1265         the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
1266         we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the <code>--3way</code>
1267         option from the command line). Defaults to <code>false</code>.
