  simplemerge [OPTS] LOCAL BASE OTHER

      Simple three-way file merge utility with a minimal feature set.

      Apply to LOCAL the changes necessary to go from BASE to OTHER.

      By default, LOCAL is overwritten with the results of this operation.

  options:

   -L --label       labels to use on conflict markers

   -a --text        treat all files as text

   -p --print       print results instead of overwriting LOCAL

      --no-minimal  no effect (DEPRECATED)
