From c25d98b2a730cbc63033ba3360df2519d43a40cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 14:34:23 +0900 Subject: merge-strategies: avoid implying that "-s theirs" exists The description of `-Xours` merge option has a parenthetical note that tells the readers that it is very different from `-s ours`, which is correct, but the description of `-Xtheirs` that follows it carelessly says "this is the opposite of `ours`", giving a false impression that the readers also need to be warned that it is very different from `-s theirs`, which in reality does not even exist. Clarify it a bit to avoid misleading readers.
