[PATCH v2 4/9] apply: accept -3/--3way command line option

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
May 10, 2012, 22:32 UTC
Message-ID
<1336689173-15822-5-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<1336689173-15822-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

This is the beginning of teaching the three-way merge fallback logic "git am -3" uses to the underlying "git apply". It only implements the command line parsing part, and does not do anything interesting yet, other than making sure that "--reject" and "--3way" are not given together.
