[PATCH 3-4/9 v2] Documentation: clarify mergeoptions description

From: Jonathan Nieder <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:29
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Sounds better this way, at least to my ears.  ("The syntax and
supported options of git merge" is a plural noun.  "the same"
instead of "equal" sounds less technical and seems to convey
the meaning better here.)

P.S.  Patches 3 and 4 in this series would be better as a single patch.
Good idea.  Here's a squashed version.
