Simple rule with filters: "cleaned" is what is stored in the repo (as blobs) "smudged" is what you see in your files in the working tree Now, if Git is asked to merge two revisions and some blobs were not changed at all, or only by one side of the merge, these parts of the merge can be resolved trivially. The others can't. You may want to try merge tools, or even a custom merge driver (see git-merge man page).
