How about this.
fatal: You are in the middle of a [conflicted] merge. To complete the merge
[resolve conflicts and] commit the changes. To abort, use "git reset HEAD".
The part about resolving changes is only displayed if there are unmerged
entries. I intentionally left out --hard, because it potentially removes
changes unrelated to the merge (if the work tree was dirty prior to the
merge). The user will find out how to reset the work tree by reading the
docs.
