I guess that "no-overwrite" can be achieved by
git merge -s ours --no-commit
no it doesn't. which is why I called it a bad name. no-overwrite would
still add new lines to the file not in ours (and no-commit isn't
needed in that case) it just wouldn't overwrite conflicting lines, my
understanding of ours is that it will keep the files as is.
