title: Which version of the git file will be finally used: LOCAL, BASE or REMOTE?
body: <p>When there's a collison during <code>git merge</code>, I open a mergetool called <a href="http://meldmerge.org/" rel="noreferrer">Meld</a>. It opens three files LOCAL, BASE and REMOTE. As I've read LOCAL is my local branch, BASE is common ancestor and REMOTE is the branch to be merged.</p>
  
  <p>Now to my question: which version of the file will be finally used? Is it REMOTE? If so, can I edit it as I want, regardless what's in the BASE branch for example?</p>
