You do not have file2 in the working tree, so regular --remove
would do.

	git-update-index --add --remove file1 file2 file3

    git merge "Grab dev stuff" master dev

This is good.  We used to use (and the tutorial only talks
about) git-resolve to do this step, like this:

	git-resolve master dev 'Merge dev branch'

And I've kept using git-resolve myself; not that I do not trust
git-merge but purely from inertia, although I was the one who
did 'git merge' ;-).  Maybe I should first update the tutorial
to use git-merge instead of git-resolve.

It appears that as the everyday workhorse, using Daniel's
git-merge-resolve is stable through git-merge have proven stable
enough.  So here is a question.  Do people mind if 'git-resolve'
and 'git-octopus' are dropped before 1.0?  This means 2 less
programs in your /usr/bin ;-).
