[PATCH] Reference technical/trivial-merge.txt in git-read-tree documentation

From: Petr Baudis <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:11
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

That file, with the so valuable (and so confusing) tables describing
the precise resolution rules git-read-tree follows, silently sat in
the corner and almost noone knew about it (well, I didn't, at least).
This references it from the git-read-tree documentation, so that there
is some chance that interested people will find it.

+The detailed listing of the precise automatic resolution rules
+git-read-tree follows can be found in 'technical/trivial-merge.txt'.
+It is in part redundant with what you will find below since the

+confusing and remove the other one.
