I am not _opposed_ to :ours:$path syntax, but I suspect there is something else that is wrong if you need to use :$n:$path syntax that often. I have never been in a situation I had to say :base:$path, unless I am debugging the merge driver. So it is between :ours:$path and :theirs:$path. But aren't they by definition HEAD:$path and MERGE_HEAD:$path, which are far more descriptive? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
