The basic idea is that "branch1" should be your current branch, and it 
obviously is also expected to match (more or less) the current index. So 
you can do a merge by

 - reading in "branch1" into the index:

	GIT_INDEX_FILE=.git/tmp-index git-read-tree -m branch1

what is "-m" here for?

It means that git-read-tree tries to merge the current index with branch1.
