[PATCH v2 5/9] apply: fall back on three-way merge

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

Message-ID

Grab the preimage blob the patch claims to be based on out of the object store, apply the patch, and then call three-way-merge function. This step still does not plug the actual three-way merge logic yet, but we are getting there.
