r"""Git incremental merge

Perform the merge between two branches incrementally.  If conflicts
are encountered, figure out exactly which pairs of commits conflict,
and present the user with one pairwise conflict at a time for
resolution.

Multiple incremental merges can be in progress at the same time.  Each
incremental merge has a name, and its progress is recorded in the Git
repository as references under 'refs/imerge/NAME'.

An incremental merge can be interrupted and resumed arbitrarily, or
even pushed to a server to allow somebody else to work on it.


Instructions:

To start an incremental merge or rebase, use one of the following
commands:

    git-imerge merge BRANCH      # analogous to "git merge BRANCH"
    git-imerge rebase BRANCH     # analogous to "git rebase BRANCH"
    git-imerge start --name=NAME --goal=GOAL --first-parent BRANCH

Then the tool will present conflicts to you one at a time, similar to
"git rebase --incremental".  Resolve each conflict, and then

    git add FILE...
    git-imerge continue

You can view your progress at any time with

    git-imerge diagram

When you have resolved all of the conflicts, simplify and record the
result by typing

    git-imerge finish

To get more help about any git-imerge subcommand, type

    git-imerge SUBCOMMAND --help
