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

From: Petr Baudis <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:11

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.

Dear diary, on Fri, Nov 11, 2005 at 09:51:40PM CET, I got a letter
where Petr Baudis [off-list ref] said that...

Any gripes, or just forgotten?
