This script uses the list of heads and their origin multi-head "git fetch" left in the $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD file, and makes an octopus merge on top of the current HEAD using them. The implementation tries to be strict for the sake of safety. It insists that your working tree is clean (no local changes) and matches the HEAD, and when any of the merged heads does not automerge, the whole process is aborted and tries to rewind your working tree is to the original state.
