two trees to match.

ort::
|
||||
This is meant as a drop-in replacement for the `recursive`
|
||||
algorithm (as reflected in its acronym -- "Ostensibly
|
||||
Recursive's Twin"), and will likely replace it in the future.
|
||||
It fixes corner cases that the `recursive` strategy handles
|
||||
suboptimally, and is significantly faster in large
|
||||
repositories -- especially when many renames are involved.

|
||||
The `ort` strategy takes all the same options as `recursive`.
|
||||
However, it ignores three of those options: `no-renames`,
|
||||
`patience` and `diff-algorithm`. It always runs with rename
|
||||
detection (it handles it much faster than `recursive` does), and
|
||||
it specifically uses `diff-algorithm=histogram`.
|

|
||||
resolve::
|
||||
This can only resolve two heads (i.e. the current branch
|
||||
and another branch you pulled from) using a 3-way merge
