Move the related documentation from Documentation/technical/api-merge.txt to ll-merge.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Only the ll-merge related doc is removed from documentation/technical/api-merge.txt because this information will be redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and synchronized with the documentation in ll-merge.h.

|

* ----------------
|
||
*
|
||
* - Prepare a `struct ll_merge_options` to record options.
|
||
* If you have no special requests, skip this and pass `NULL`
|
||
* as the `opts` parameter to use the default options.
|
||
*
|
||
* - Allocate an mmbuffer_t variable for the result.
|
||
*
|
||
* - Allocate and fill variables with the file's original content
|
||
* and two modified versions (using `read_mmfile`, for example).
|
||
*
|
||
* - Call `ll_merge()`.
|
||
*
|
||
* - Read the merged content from `result_buf.ptr` and `result_buf.size`.
|
||
*
|
||
* - Release buffers when finished. A simple
|
||
* `free(ancestor.ptr); free(ours.ptr); free(theirs.ptr);
|
||
* free(result_buf.ptr);` will do.
|
||
*
|
||
* If the modifications do not merge cleanly, `ll_merge` will return a
|
||
* nonzero value and `result_buf` will generally include a description of
|
||
* the conflict bracketed by markers such as the traditional `<<<<<<<`
|
||
* and `>>>>>>>`.
|
||
*
|
||
* The `ancestor_label`, `our_label`, and `their_label` parameters are
|
||
* used to label the different sides of a conflict if the merge driver
|
||
* supports this.
