Re: Three-way merge with the index as one way

I wanted to make tree_timewarp do three-way merge, but didn't figure a
good way to do it. First, what do I want - a two-way merge between two
trees, which will however respect (not die on) local changes in the
working tree.

I remember that we used to have --emu23 flag to read-tree.  It
was yanked out when we did multi-merge-base conversion, because
nobody was using it, but I wonder if that is close to what you
are looking for.

$ git whatchanged -S--emu23 read-tree.c

tells me that 32192e6622d78347448cfc0572827d6e64e0de28 commit
completed it and ee6566e8d70da682ac4926dd8a67ac821b2c1743 commit
removed it.
