Merge branch 'jc/apply-3way'
"git apply" learned to wiggle the base version and perform three-way merge when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have. * jc/apply-3way: apply: tests for the --3way option apply: document --3way option apply: allow rerere() to work on --3way results apply: register conflicted stages to the index apply: --3way with add/add conflict apply: move verify_index_match() higher apply: plug the three-way merge logic in apply: fall back on three-way merge apply: accept -3/--3way command line option apply: move "already exists" logic to check_to_create() apply: move check_to_create_blob() closer to its sole caller apply: further split load_preimage() apply: refactor "previous patch" logic apply: split load_preimage() helper function out apply: factor out checkout_target() helper function apply: refactor read_file_or_gitlink() apply: clear_image() clears things a bit more apply: a bit more comments on PATH_TO_BE_DELETED apply: fix an incomplete comment in check_patch()
