Documentation: merge: use MERGE_HEAD to refer to the remote branch
commit 57bddb1 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) fixed the manual to drop the assumption that the other branch being merged is from a remote repository. Unfortunately, in a few places, to do so it introduced the antecedentless phrase "their versions". Worse, in passages like the following, 'they' is playing two roles. | highlighting changes from both the HEAD and their versions. | | * Look at the diffs on their own. 'git log --merge -p <path>' Using HEAD and MERGE_HEAD nicely assigns terminology to "our" and "their" sides. It also provides the reader with practice using names that git will recognize on the command line.
