Subject: [PATCH] doc: merge: fix mention of `ORIG_HEAD`
Date: Sat, 20 May 2023 10:44:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c6337eba029bd5a53f76433c51bbe86c82faf507.1684571874.git.code@khaugsbakk.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAOQx3AYx+sSD4REfTdQ0muY2zRgzE2nR7RgG7cxNgXvwzYzixg@mail.gmail.com>

`ORIG_HEAD` before the attempted merge points at the commit that you are
on (the tip of `master`), not the tip of the branch that you are trying
to merge in.
