Dear list: Just encountered the --merge option for git log. In the man page, it has the following explanation: - After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a conflict and don't exist on all heads to merge. I tried this option and get below results: 1. For a failed merge (with conflicts), if the conflicted file does not exist on either side of the merge, the --merge option will return the log from the other side. 2. If the conflicted file exists on both sides of the merge, the --merge option will return the latest change on either side. (i.e: git log -1 -- conflict_file / git log -1 --merge -- conflict_file may return different results, whichever changed the latest) I'm not sure whether above behavior is the unexpected result (cannot find detailed explanation for --merge option online).
