Quite right, but gee guys ... you'll kick yourselves.

% man -k merge
merge (1)            - three-way file merge
%man merge

DESCRIPTION
       merge  incorporates  all  changes that lead from file2 to file3
into file1.  The result ordinarily goes into file1.
       merge is useful for combining separate changes to an original.
Suppose file2 is the original, and both  file1  and
       file3 are modifications of file2.  Then merge combines both
changes.



Does this work? Hope that helps.
