Please say "--resolved" after you have actually resolved them,
eh, meaning, (1) edit the working tree file into a desired
shape, and (2) git-update-index drivers/acpi/thermal.c.

I've considered making --resolved to do update-index for all
paths that are unmerged in the index, but that risks going
forward by mistake when you still have other paths to resolve,
so...
