fatal: You are in the middle of a [conflicted] merge. To complete the merge [resolve conflicts and] commit the changes. To abort, use "git reset HEAD".
The part about resolving changes is only displayed if there are unmerged entries. I intentionally left out --hard, because it potentially removes changes unrelated to the merge (if the work tree was dirty prior to the merge). The user will find out how to reset the work tree by reading the docs.
