This is my notebook with useful (to me) git hints

List files which have conflicts

$ git ls-files --unmerged

Checkout all three versions

$ git cat-file blob :1:target-ppc/cpu.h > target-ppc/cpu.h.1
$ git cat-file blob :2:target-ppc/cpu.h > target-ppc/cpu.h.2
$ git cat-file blob :3:target-ppc/cpu.h > target-ppc/cpu.h.3

Make a diff, and create one copy which will be final with all changes merged

Mark conflict resolved

$ git update-index target-ppc/cpu.h
