  Glossary: trivial, clean, evil merge
              or
Merge flavours, and how to recognize them


What is the definition of a trivial merge? Is it tree-level merge, for 
which git-diff -c output would be empty?

What is the definition of clean merge? Is it merge without conflicts? 
How to name merge for which git-diff --cc output is empty: simple merge 
perhaps? I think it does not need to be clean merge in the "no 
conflicts" meaning.

What is the definition of evil merge? Is it merge for which merge commit 
is different from all the parents? How to name merge for which 
git-diff --cc output is non empty, then?
