   Performing a three-way merge
       merge
[...]
              String
                 3-way merge is performed using the specified custom merge driver. The built-in 3-way merge driver can be explicitly specified by asking
                 for "text" driver; the built-in "take the current branch" driver can be requested with "binary".
