+"""clang-format 3-way merge driver.
+
+This is a custom merge driver for git that helps automatically resolves
+conflicts caused by clang-format changes. The conflict resolution
+strategy is extremely simple: it simply clang-formats the current,
+ancestor branch's, and other branch's version of the file and delegates
+the remaining work to git merge-file.
+
+See https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes ("Defining a custom merge
+driver") for more details.
