+ If you have local modifications to a file that is + different between the current branch and the branch you + are switching to, the command refuses to switch + branches, to preserve your modifications in context. + With this option, a three-way merge between the current + branch, your working tree contents, and the new branch + is done, and you will be on the new branch. +

+

When a merge conflict happens, the index entries for conflicting +paths are left unmerged, and you need to resolve the conflicts +and mark the resolved paths with git update-index.

    +
    $ git checkout mytopic

    You can give the -m flag to the command, which would try a +three-way merge:

    +
    +
    $ git checkout -m mytopic
+Auto-merging frotz

    At this point, git diff shows the changes cleanly merged as in +the previous example, as well as the changes in the conflicted +files. Edit and resolve the conflict and mark it resolved with +git update-index as usual:
