This means git will look for a common base commit, and compare changes from both sides to see which side actually made a change. In your case, the base and the release branch both should show the old ip, and the master side would show the new IP. This tells git that master has changed, and not the release branch, and takes the master side of the change, resulting the new IP to show up. Hope this helps, Kevin.
