** If the VERSION argument is omitted, then Fossil attempts to find
** a recent fork on the current branch to merge.
**
** Only file content is merged.  The result continues to use the
** file and directory names from the current checkout even if those
** names might have been changed in the branch being merged in.
**
** Other options:




**
**   --baseline BASELINE     Use BASELINE as the "pivot" of the merge instead
**                           of the nearest common ancestor.  This allows
**                           a sequence of changes in a branch to be merged
**                           without having to merge the entire branch.
**
**   --binary GLOBPATTERN    Treat files that match GLOBPATTERN as binary
**                           and do not try to merge parallel changes.  This
**                           option overrides the "binary-glob" setting.
**
**   --case-sensitive BOOL   Override the case-sensitive setting.  If false,
**                           files whose names differ only in case are taken
**                           to be the same file.





**
**   -f|--force              Force the merge even if it would be a no-op.
**
**   --force-missing         Force the merge even if there is missing content.
**
**   --integrate             Merged branch will be closed when committing.

** If the VERSION argument is omitted, then Fossil attempts to find
** a recent fork on the current branch to merge.
**
** Only file content is merged.  The result continues to use the
** file and directory names from the current checkout even if those
** names might have been changed in the branch being merged in.
**
** Options:
**
**   --backout               Do a reverse cherrypick merge against VERSION.
**                           In other words, back out the changes that were
**                           added by VERSION.
**
**   --baseline BASELINE     Use BASELINE as the "pivot" of the merge instead
**                           of the nearest common ancestor.  This allows
**                           a sequence of changes in a branch to be merged
**                           without having to merge the entire branch.
**
**   --binary GLOBPATTERN    Treat files that match GLOBPATTERN as binary
**                           and do not try to merge parallel changes.  This
**                           option overrides the "binary-glob" setting.
**
**   --case-sensitive BOOL   Override the case-sensitive setting.  If false,
**                           files whose names differ only in case are taken
**                           to be the same file.
**
**   --cherrypick            Do a cherrypick merge VERSION into the current
**                           checkout.  A cherrypick merge pulls in the changes
**                           of the single check-in VERSION, rather than all
**                           changes back to the nearest common ancestor.
**
**   -f|--force              Force the merge even if it would be a no-op.
**
**   --force-missing         Force the merge even if there is missing content.
**
**   --integrate             Merged branch will be closed when committing.
