+am.threeWay::
+ By default, git-am will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
+ set to true, this setting tells git-am to fall back on 3-way merge if
+ the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
+ we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the --3way
+ option from the command line).
+ See linkgit:git-am[1].
Same comment as 2/4 applies here.
