	git-merge that delete files on "foreign" <branch> before merging
	Useful for ignoring a folder in <branch> before merging it with
	current branch. Works by deleting FILE(S) in a detached commit based
	on <branch>, and then performing the merge of this new commit in the
	current branch. Note that <branch> is not changed by this procedure.
	Also note that <branch> may actually be any reference, like a tag,
	or a remote branch, or even a commit SHA.
	For more information, see <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3111515>
	Options:
	  -h, --help
	     show this page.
	  -v, --verbose
	     do not use -q to suppress normal output of internal steps from git
	     checkout, rm, commit. By default, only git merge output is shown.
	     Errors, however, are never suppressed
	  -M <message>, --msgcommit=<message>
	     message for the removal commit in <branch>. Not to be confused
	     with the message of the merge commit, which is set by -m. Default
	     message is: "$msgcommit"
	  -m <message>, --message=<message>
	     message for the merge commit. Since we are not merging <branch>
	     directly, but rather a detached commit based on it, we forge a
	     message similar to git's default for a branch merge. Otherwise
	     git would use in message the full and ugly SHA1 of our commit.
	     Default message is: "$msgmerge"
	  For both commit messages, the token "<branch>" is replaced for the
	  actual <branch> name.
	Additional options are passed unchecked to git merge.
	All options must precede <branch> and FILE(s), except -h and --help
	that may appear	anywhere on the command line.
	Example:
	  $myname design "photoshop/*"
