The man says:




git merge-file incorporates all changes that lead from the <base-file> to
<other-file> into <current-file>.




When incorporating changes into <current-file>, I would like to incorporate
changes that conflict in a copy of <base-file> (let's name it <conflict-file>)
and do not touch <current-file> in that case.



That way, I would end with:




  • <new-current-file> that has incorporated has much changes as possible,


  • <base-file> and <conflict-file> that can be diff (I prefer vertical vimdiff)
    to see the conflicting changes that I must manually incorporate into
    <new-current-file>.

I that possible?

  • Rather than doing all of this (including the thing you were experimenting with yesterday), I recommend just setting merge.conflictStyle to diff3. The conflicted changes will now show all three inputs in the one file. This doesn't always make it easy, but in my experience, it covers most of the cases where the <<<<<<< ... >>>>>>> stuff was unreadable—it goes from unreadable to sensible and easy to merge.
