Junio C Hamano a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

git-merge-tree(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-merge-tree' <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and
conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to
what three-way read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the
results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the
standard output.
This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute
merge results outside index, and stuff the results back into the
index. For this reason, the output from the command omits
entries that match <branch1> tree.
