When a merge conflict happens, the index entries for conflicting
paths are left unmerged, and you need to resolve the conflicts

Name for the new branch.
At this point, `git diff` shows the changes cleanly merged as in
the previous example, as well as the changes in the conflicted
files. Edit and resolve the conflict and mark it resolved with
