Hi all- Helping a coworker resolve merge conflicts today I found I wanted a -Xtheirs that completely replaces conflicted binary files with the copy from the incoming branch. In other words rather than doing $ git merge maint ... conflicts occur ... $ git checkout --theirs -- path/to/binary-file $ git add path/to/binary-file $ git commit I'd like to do $ git merge -Xbinary_theirs maint ... binary conflicts are resolved automatically ... >From reading the docs it's obvious the current -Xours and -Xtheirs expect to work on hunks, so I (mostly) understand the current behavior, but as a user it feels like "I'm telling you how to resolve conflicts, please do the same thing for binary files". I am missing a solution that already exists? Or is this perhaps an improvement that could be made?
